Earlier today, the Post's Isabelle Khurshudyan dropped this bit of information into the Twittersphere:
Trotz said Caps will try to do something at trade deadline. Nothing drastic. Scott Gomez is on the radar.

This was soon corroborated by CSN's Chuck Gormley:
Trotz said he went to Hershey on Sunday and saw a lot of NHL scouts. Added Scott Gomez is indeed 'on the radar. That's all I'm saying.'

Scott Gomez signed a professional tryout agreement with the Hershey Bears last month, and has played 15 of the maximum 25 games allowed under that contract.
