Don't think it CAN be for anything but the vet min, if he's coming to Boston. All indications are that JO took the full MLE, and I don't see Portland wanting any of our spare parts in a S&T deal.
And, don't see why Gomesey would be signing a vet min deal NOW. It's got to be for at least $2M - $3M/year, or he should just wait the process out.
