Scott Gomez may be bought out in the near future. However, there are contrary reports coming from very reputable people in the media. Sportsnet's Louis Jean reports that the decision has been made to buy him out, but TSN's Bob McKenzie is also saying that "is the dumbest thing any organization could possibly do in a salary cap world." His current contract is $7,357,143 for two more years, but if he does get bought out, it will cost the Canadiens $3,523,810 for the first year, $4,523,810 the second year, and $1,666,667 for two final years. Do not expect any news to come out in the next little while. The earliest any buyout that can happen is 6/15 because that's when his buyout window in his contract comes in.
