I don't really see why it wouldn't happen, though. Are there any "cons" to it?
I don't think other players (on the team and around the league) could really blame the team for making that decision after two consecutive just god-awful seasons.
I doubt he'd be satisfied playing on the bottom 6. Do you really want a guy who is unhappy about his situation hanging around all season?
Actually, I have a question. I would imagine he'd be pretty pissed about being sent down. And I actually wonder whether you'd want him in Hamilton with your prospects, for the same reason I don't think you'd want him in Montreal. So, would he have to be sent to Hamilton necessarily, or could he be loaned or whatever to another minor league team?

On the prospect front, Charles Hudon apparently had an amazing game today for Canada in the CAN vs RUS challenge. Corey Pronman, Brendan Ross (@rossyyoungblood), and Cody Nickolet (@WHLFromAbove) were all raving about the strong game he had. Created plenty of offensive chances and played a high energy game.

Yeah it looks great. I've read several publications that raved about how well the habs did at the draft. It seems to be the consensus that the habs are by and far the winners of the 2012 draft. And with 2013 being a deep draft that habs should be able to snag a few more with their 2 2nd round picks.
On another note;
The habs will have a lot of junior players graduating and heading to the AHL this year. Tinordi, Beaulieu, Gallagher, Holland, Ellis. Could be a great year to watch the Bulldogs. Am I missing anyone else? I'd love to see Prybil come over.
I know Kristo decided to head back to school for another year. Hopefully he doesn't take the Justin Shultz route. Although that loophole could also be addressed in the current CBA negotions.

I think he would report if he was sent to the minors. Most of these guys are professional, and report (Souray, Redden, etc,). Plus, if he didn't report, he would risk being suspended, and not making his salary.
I'm still hoping he gets dealt. Phoenix is about $10 million under the cap. If Doan doesn't resign there, then that's a potential trade partner. The Islanders are about $7 million under. With no major free agents left except for doan, that could be the best option for these teams.

The salary alone is enough for Gomez to report to the AHL should he be demoted. And no I don't think Phoenix is a good destination for Gomez. I firmly believe that he has major negative trade value for being such an awful player. Just looking at the capgeek.com list of free agents, Phoenix can sign guys like Huet (backup upgrade), Rozsival or Colaiacovo (Aucoin replacement) and maybe Andrei Kostitsyn to add some scoring. That total probably exceeds Gomez's cap hit and improves their team dramatically. I prefer the Florida Panthers model of dealing with the cap floor.
