Another ‘Rumor’ Shot Down

from Rich Hammond of Inside the Kings,
Since this lovely rumor seems to have gained some traction among legitimate news organizations, I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about rumors in general and the ``Marian Gaborik might be coming to L.A.’’ rumor in specific. It’s rumors such as this one that tend to make my hair fall out in clumps.
Gaborik makes $6.3 million this season and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Those are two HUGE red flags that should indicate to anyone that he’s not coming to the Kings.

It really wouldn’t make much sense for LA to pick up Gaborik UNLESS they think that they can retain him for a long-term contract. Seeing how Gaborik has grown restless on a team that has won their division and in a state that many consider America’s Hockey Mecca, I don’t see him having any interest in moving to LA and helping build that team from the bottom of the Conference. Unless they offer him one of those ridiculous contracts that his agent threw out there (which is ridiculous for him to do by the way), I don’t see this move happening...it wouldn’t be Dean Lombardi’s style.
