Trebreh Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 he's frustrating to watch and incessantly disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 If we can move out enough salary/deadweight, I'd take him. Our PP has been flat-out awful, a dynamic offensive player would surely help. But who knows if he'd waive his NTC to come here. Also, Booth's injury complicates things, as we can no longer move his contract out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Well with Booth done for the season, we have the cap space. I've said this team is at least a Hossa type player away from being able to match the Blackhawks. Gaborik is the closest thing to Hossa available. I say go for it. If he costs us a 1st round pick, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayRayDown Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sedins-Burrows Higgins/Mayray-Kesler-Gaborik would be our best top 6 since... Sundin was here if booth gets back during the playoffs Sedins-Burr Booth-Kesler-Gaborik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He's just looking at every option available, even if its not one he plans to go after. Calm cown guys, nothing to see here. Knowing whats going on around the leauge is important too, that's why I consider him one of the best gms on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronning4center Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 no cap space available for a small, injury-prone, overpriced, one-dimensional winger that doesn't seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronning4center Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Don't we have enough players with high cap hits who float defensively and do not play with any heart at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronning4center Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Im really surprised at all you knocking this. We have another chance to get a pure elite goal scorer and you say.."no heart" "one dementional" holy cow people...we have a team of diggers with "heart" and are going down the tube....since bure we've not had a pure goal scorer....I say go for it.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The bad thing about this one, is he has a 7.6 million dollar cap hit. As much as I want a deadly sniper like him, I think it will be too much on the team, especially with the cap going down. He is a proven all star player, and will help this team. Injury prone though... but we can't really predict stuff like that, as it comes and goes, this season, it came too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I think they have more than just kicked the tires on this one in the war room. He'd look nice on this team I gotta say. However salary is a clear issue and longevity as well. I'm curious as to what it would take to make this deal. I'd assume a package of 1st + prospect + roster player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes thats true, but he's not going to be asked upon to score every game on this team, a secondary role will benefit him imo. Sedins/Kesler and Burrows are still our primary source for offence, but he could give us that game breaking goal when we need it. I'd rather have Gaborik than Booth if our top line struggles to produce offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 paying $7.5 mil for a secondary scorer when your team is already at the cap, the cap is going down next year, and you're shackled with a bunch of large, virtually unmovable contracts already hardly seems like a sound strategy for building a winner.

EagleShield Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Whatever about the merits of Gaborik, it is really good news that MG isn't just sitting there playing with his thumbs. I am now quite hopeful that a major deal might get done this year. Problem with Gaborik is the Rangers have Lundqvist, and so have no interest in either of our "trump cards".

Ferlands_Head Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Gaborik is just what the canucks need, right now they're a one line team and if the Sedins get shut down we don't have a very good chance of winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
