And what, Gomez is a giant? If I was a GM I wouldn't pick either of them for my team. For the kind of coin these guys want I'd pick up Brian Rolston instead.
I watched a whole heck of a lot of Buffalo last season ( mostly for Rick Jeanerette and his wicked awesome commentary) and Briere was a dynamo who elevated the play of his linemates, who were for the most part J.P. Dumont and Jochen Hecht. Put those two on the wings with Gomez and he wouldn't crack 50 points.
Just my opinion, but Briere>Gomez. Although Gomez is the better passer, Briere has that spark that can rally a team behind him. I don't get that watching Gomez.
