Injury Report: Gaborik Flying Back to L.A.

[Reclamation Project]

First thought was a package deal for Vrbata and Hamhuis.

 

[onlyalad]

Versteeg, Ladd, Vrbata are the only ones that interest me. But all we should offer for is mid-level picks and/or prospects.

We can call up Mersch if we dont want Clifford or Andreoff playing.

More pressing is still our D. I'm not sold on McNabb. We need to try and pry Yandle from NY

I don't think the can call anyone up without sending someone down. They were over the limit already.

 

[Reclamation Project]

I've always been a fan of Versteeg. Wouldn't mind him for cheap.

such a shame. wish him a speedy recovery. :/

 

[SLang]

Sucks!

 

[sinister6000]

They should call up Mersch, and give him a chance to play on the 3rd line.

 

[CowMix]

I wouldn't be surprised if he never plays again and gets in a similar situation as Greene

3/4 of this thread is ready to take him out back and put him down.

i know right, all from a few brief moments of video

 

[kingsfan28]

I'm going with the positive and say he returns before the season ends.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

I see your posivity and raise you that he is back before March 23rd

Better than Price-ing it. Figure Gaborik is out for the year, and you can only be pleasantly surprised when any official word comes out one way or the other.

Isn't that what you do with hockey players that hurt their knees?

 

[Oh Snap]

Any recent news on Gabby? Do you think he'll back back for the playoffs?

The only news was a hope he'd be back for the playoffs.

I read on a fan blog that they may have to amputate the leg, but I am not sure if the post was reputable.

Other then that there is no word.

I hope we use the cap space on a top 6 rental forward...

Versteeg, Ladd, Vrbata are the only ones that interest me.

I'd add Hudler and Boedker to that.

More pressing is still our D. I'm not sold on McNabb. We need to try and pry Yandle from NY

I'm not sold on McNabb either, he makes too many mistakes.
But is Yandle good enough defensively? I'm not a Coyotes or Rangers expert, but I've often read that he isn't.

First thought was a package deal for Vrbata and Hamhuis.

That was exactly my thought 2 minutes ago too, if the Canucks go into tank mode it's a possibility. However, if Polak & Spaling were worth two 2nd rd picks, who knows what the price will be here.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ugh, the injury will keep him out 10-12 weeks. But leave it to dummies on HF to proclaim the Kings will circumvent the cap by placing Gaborik on LTIR to earn cap relief.

Ugh, the injury will keep him out 10-12 weeks. But leave it to dummies on HF to proclaim the Kings will circumvent the cap by placing Gaborik on LTIR to earn cap relief.

That would make it April 22nd through May 6th for recovery. Playoffs begin April 16th.

He's reading from a script.

Its obvious everyone is in on it, its a league wide conspiracy.

 

[tsanuri]

That's because the whole team is a bunch of cheaters.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Not expecting him back this season for a number of reasons.
