In primes and overall careers, Gaborik > Fiala. Despite playing in a defensive system, he could still put up over a point-per-game. He just struggled with staying healthy to put up a full season. Whenever he's at least close to a full season, he had some remarkable scoring leads on his teams.

The Kings just got Gaborik near the tail end of his career.

Gaborik also adapted to his loss of lightning speed.. so many of his goals in 2014 cup run were greasy

comparing Fiala to palffy is like Fuji to golden delicious apples. Fiala to Gaborik is apples to oranges.

Gaborik adapted to fit Kopitar's needs. Fiala cannot.

Gaborik adapted to fit Kopitar's needs. Fiala cannot.

And nor should he be required to... im not into comparing the two, was just trying to laud Gaboriks contribution to the 2014 cup run.. he was yuge.. wont ever forget it

LA Kings are champions and hardware winners...just not for the Kings.
