When a guy's locker is cleaned out after being put on waivers, but before being claimed, it's usually a good sign that his tenure with the team that he's on is done. Scott Gomez's locker is spotless.
Gomez, signed as a PTO this off-season, was key for the Blues as injuries mounted up. As players like Paul Stastny and Robby Fabbri healed, Gomez's ice time became more limited and more rare. Kyle Brodziak is slated for a return to the line-up on the fourth line this week, and Patrik Berglund has been cleared for contact.
