The Official Marian Gaborik Contract Thread

[The Lizard King]

I heard he wants to play somewhere that puts a greater emphasis on offense as opposed to Defense. I don't think it's about money, I just think he wants out of here.


What could we possibly get for him??

[jrice9]

if they6 could get his name on an extension 2 firsts and alot of prospects could be possible.

[bidi_nash]

ya for sure if he got out of the trap he could hit 100 points

[JBoog35]

I want LEGIT talent back, because as young as this team is, they are still ready to compete in the playoffs.

[PurpleJesus]

i want Gabby here, why cant the coach and the player get along? they should both just put there egos aside and say look, we can win with each other. Also, it appears this may be lemaires last season, is there anyway Doug can pound that in to Gaboriks head?

[bidi_nash]

easier said than done

[The Lizard King]

I hope we trade him to the Canucks for all their prospects, then he gets his leg severed in a car accident. This way Gaboriks greedy *** get nothing, and we deplete the Canucks system.

2 birds 1 stone.

JK. I don't think it's the money with him. 80 million is a big number to turn down.

[The Lizard King]

its not always about money. he probably wants the money but wants the money in a city where he has a better opportunity of getting his name on that cup

You joking? The Wild won their division last year, and we may be even better this year. We have alot of young rising talent.

Marian Gaborik's agent is denying reports that his client has turned down long-term deals with the Minnesota Wild.
Ron Salcer says reports of seven-years/$70 million or eight-years/$80 million are crazy and that Gaborik has not been offered those deals. He also said that he and the Wild have not talked in two weeks. Stay tuned.
