From what I'm hearing out of Minnesota, (as if they weren't going to be shaky enough offensively losing Rolston and Demitra), Gaborik's fairly unhappy as well. He's arguably the best player in the league when healthy.

Gaborik just cracked the 80 point mark last year, his seventh year. He has talent but has yet to put it together to make a solid scoring winger. I understand that he plays in a defensive system, but a lot of other players do as well. Patrik Elias has made his entire career in NJ and has cracked 80 points twice, one of them being a 96 point season. He's never finished below 50 in a complete season where he saw actual minutes. Again, Gaborik is talented, but I'd put him somewhere in back of the top 20 best players in the league when healthy.

Wow. I always thought his stats were higher. To answer Czech's question (upon reviewing his career stats), yes. This is the first I remember of him being outspokenly unhappy, but only once in seven seasons as he cracked the 80-game plateau. He's averaging a little fewer than 70 a season, which isn't Colaiacovo levels, but that's still a dozen games missed.

 

MORE APPROPRIATE STATEMENT:

 

Marion Gaborik is hands-down the best player on the Wild. His leaving would be a huge blow to an offence that's already not one of the league's better.

Dumb, no, desperate, absolutely. I bet the Maple Leafs take him, and if they don't, rest assured they thought about it.

Why stop there? Grab Hasek and Jeff Hackett. Whither Jocelyn Thibault?

They already have 4 million committed to Toskala, plus the buyout on Raycroft for this year and next. I doubt they take Khabibulin on. They're not going anywhere.

Ottawa will pick him up. It's not like they need another average European goalie anyways.

They have Gerber and Auld. Auld only makes 1 million a year and is better than Khabibulin.

 

Not sure who will take him on. Nashville might be a good spot, but they'd have to shed money to claim him on waivers. Unless they picked him up on re-entry waivers where Chicago would pick up half of the contract.

Not a chance. They're right at the cap as it is.

I'm bummed that OD is now a member of the Kings but I hope he does well.

 

And I can't believe that this hasn't been posted:

 

 

If I have grandkids, and if they end up hockey fans, I have a feeling I can boast I saw Price way back in his AHL days. That was just retarded.
