Gaborik 2

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

So Gabby and the Wild are both stuck, no trades nothing… There is a very good chance that Gabby will walk away from the Wild and leave them in a bind. See Gabby needs season ending surgery on his hip so kiss him good bye for this season.

I am not sure what is going to happen in the next year but the Wild need to find some one to replace Gaborik as soon as possable and get a team that is really a Play-Off Contender. Lets get the Wild back on track and help them move forward to a real run for the CUP!

More Trade Rumors

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

The Marian Gaborik story has gone international, and what was briefly the Twin Cities’ own little hockey drama has quickly jumped the shark. What had moved incrementally via reporting and sourcing has been pushed into hyper drive by rumor, innuendo and speculation. Rumors have been out there, but mostly crazy ones, such as Gaborik straight up for Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin (Wild: “Uh, where do I sign?”) or Gaborik to Edmonton (he doesn’t want to be here, you think he wants to be in Edmonton?). But the rumor the Montreal press was sinking its teeth into Monday isn’t so patently insane: Gaborik to Montreal for winger Higgins, backup goalie Jaroslav Halak and either a first-round draft pick or top prospect Ryan McDonagh (yes, that Ryan McDonagh).

Wild in a trade mood?

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Wild trying to make “impact move”

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Wild GM Doug Risebrough has been working the phones and is trying to make a significant trade. Citing a league source, the Star Tribune claims Risebrough was “frantically” working the phones yesterday trying to make an “impact move.”

Wild head coach Jacques Lemaire was not available to speak with the media this morning, neither was Risebrough.

Wild assistant coach Mario Tremblay told the Star Tribune that Lemaire was in a “meeting.”

Marian Gaborik, who is expected to be dealt before the March 4 trade deadline, was the first player off the ice following today’s morning skate, however the Star Tribune reports it may be due to the 26-year-old feeling discomfort, despite the fact that he said he will play tonight.
