Robin Gomez to the Devils is being talked about on Steeltalk.
Finnerty's best mate apparently.
Anyone heard similar.
Decent player from what I remember. Although the stand out memory was beating Cornish twice, both by TKO, in the same game.
He also had a ban in America for a sucker punch during a melee on the ice (a real sucker punch, not a made up one a la Sheffield/Simmsy). I can't remember more details of this though.

Robin Gomez would certainly toughen up our line up and there is apparently a link with Finnerty. Not the biggest points production for a winger but his toughness has seen him play at a very good level. Must admit he didn’t think much of him at his spell in Manchester when I saw him but that was only a several games.
If we’re talking 3rd line winger then I’d be more than happy. That said, if he is close with Finnerty it maybe that they’ll play together. Depending on whether Voth does return, that could mean Hill down to the 3rd line.
Whatever happens it looks like we will have some good depth again this season. Hopefully 3 lines capable of scoring and not backing down to anyone. Most importantly, we need to sign leaders and not party boys. Positive professional attitudes in what could be the essential ingredient for this team.

Robin Gomez? :shock: :shock: And the Vother? :shock: :shock:
Anyone read about Gomez? Now he is tough! Blimey, I think I'd be too scared to go to any matches! :lol: And he is a friend of Ryan so who knows?
Mark Smith was Capitals' best defenceman last season - he would be a solid signing for the Devils.

Do we know for sure that Voth will be back? Last we heard was that there were a few options open to him in hockey and outside of hockey. I would think that Gomez may have been approached as an alternative if Voth decided not to come back.
My preference would be for 7 forward imports and 4 import(including Adams) D. I am hoping we will get another brit to replace Towe, not sure who is still available though, Hewitt?, Myers?, Dalgleish?. think I would be happy to see Ben Davies getting a regular shift on the 3rd line.
There would also be the option of Adams playing himself as a forward should the situation require it with Symonds taking over as 5th defenceman. I am a bit concerned we could find ourselves a bit short of cover on D in the case of only 3 import D if injuries occurred.
Just my opinion of course.

Yet Gomez beat the crap out of Cornish twice in the same game. Any enforcer can have good days and bad days.
I mean look at Last year, Voth got owned in that first fight against Mcmorrow, yet when riled up he made Mcmorrow whinge like a little girl for the resto f the season when he sorted him out down here.
