Good game, not that exciting offensively though. I see Gabby is still fast as all get out, but I still think I'd prefer to trade him at this point. This team has a ton of young talent and if they can receive some LEGIT talent back, I'd do it.

[JBoog35]

Wow, I post a thought on Gabby being traded, and he goes and absolutely thieves a goal... I still think he should be traded though. What a goal though.

I think we will be really good this year. Our scoring will be more balanced, any of the lines could score at any given time.

3-2, hopefully we can hold on, only 4:40 left.

Nice win 4-2 2-0 and unless we get a lot back i mean a lot we shouldnt trade gaborik

[badkins1121]

If we don't sign him to an extension by the trade deadline he will be gone. It's not worth risking losing him for nothing

agreed, an offensive weapon like gabby is hard to find, i really like that in our conservative offense, we still have a player that can score at any time, i dont think we would get that in return

[bidi_nash]

no but if we could get a few very good young players i would consider it but gaborik is not old either sso im not sure what i would trade him for

[JBoog35]

I agree, I just wonder how long we wait. I see Johan Santana happening all over again... or worse, Tori Hunter.

[bidi_nash]

that would be brutal
