Gomez had 11 points in 38 games playing 14 minutes a game including 2 minutes of PP time, a little less than DD. That's ~500% more productive than DD.
It's good though that DD is playing less well than Gomez. He might actually be removed from the team, let's be honest, if Desharnais had more luck and was at 5 points rather than 1 point, he probably would be getting a free pass.
To me his contract pretty much guarentees the Desharnais saga is far from over. I think he'll get a boatload of chances because Bergevin can't go to Molson and ask permission to buy-out a guy who hasn't even played 20 games into a 4 year contract. I could see a demotion to the minors if Briere can take his place with the hope he reinvents himself in Hamilton and comes back an NHLer again I guess.
Man I really hope guarenteed contracts are looked at during the next CBA negociations.
