from Stan Fischler of Game On,
Which compels me to bring Marian Gaborik to your attention, since he soon will be an Unrestricted Free Agent.
His price will be high and there’s a bit of a gamble involved. On the other hand, the returns can be immense. Just ask any Ranger fan who remembers Marian’s five-goal bonanza against the Blueshirts a couple of years ago.
I’m not forgetting that Gaborik spent most of this past season on the injured list, but these things happen and players do recover. I say that this is a gamble worth taking. We all know that the scoring issue depends in part on a successful power play. Regrettably, no such abundant PP was evident in 2008-09. And that brings us to a free agent or two.
How about Scott Niedermayer? In one fell swoop, Nieder would solve several issues. He’s a master quarterback, all-rink rover and, arguably, the best total player in the NHL.
