Dany Heatley for Marian Hossa trades don’t happen everyday in the NHL. Stars aligned a few years back and Atlanta and Ottawa was able to make a star for star trade.
That likely won’t happen here if Gaborik is dealt. Sure, the Wild could likely get a strong package of players/picks back, but you’re not going to get fair value back — at least for the short-term.
Gaborik will have his choice to play most anyplace he wants next season, and he knows that. To get him to forgo that opportunity, the Wild will have to pay him, and probably overpay him. Most teams can afford to pay Gaborik $9-10 million on a long-term deal next summer.

I agree. If they’re willing to give Sundin 10 million, I can see them doing the same for a guy who scored 5 goals in one game last year. I think he’s doing the same thing Hossa did this summer. He’s a great right winger (like Hossa) who wants to go to a Stanley Cup team.
