Scott Gomez will be a hit with the Rangers in the big New York sports market (NHL)

“It is his quickness and playmaking skills the Rangers coveted. He scored only 13 goals last season, but he had 47 assists and he should hit a career high feathering passes to the exceptionally talented Jaromir Jagr.

“I’ve been fortunate to play with some talented wingers that are amazing, but this guy - we’re probably talking about the top five players to ever play, he’s that good. We’re getting used to each other. Hopefully, it works out. I’ve always had the same mindset: it’s my job as a centre to get my linemates the puck and get them in a position where it’s easiest for them to score. I’m not going to change that.”

Gomez, 27, has one of the most unusual backgrounds in the NHL having been the first Latino drafted. He parents have Mexican and Colombian roots, and he was born and raised in Alaska.”
