Hey all, I’ve probably approached nearly everyone about Gaborik being available. I’m looking to move him, and willing to take any pick, any year.
If anyone wants him, now is the time.
If you want him but don’t want to move a 7th for him, he’ll likely be on waivers in the next couple days. He still has an NsHL skill set, however he’s not in my plans this year. The last thing I want to do is end up burying him in the minors (where he’d understandably hold out). Any team with cap space and a desire for a 3rd line in type guy, he could be a decent fit for you. Come the deadline you’d likely be able to flip him for more than you pay today by a fair bit.
I’m just looking to treat him with some respect and not have him end his career in embarrassing fashion. I will not add assets to dump his contract though. I fully expect he would be claimed on waivers, likely by more than one team, so if anybody wants him, a 7th gets it done.
