Why The Interest In Gaborik?

from Ian MacIntyre of the Vancouver Sun,
The Canucks don’t care where Gaborik lives because he won’t be playing for them. Not unless the winger decides he needs to re-establish himself in the NHL and signs a Teemu-Selanne-just-back-from-knee-surgery contract of $3-million for one year.
Other than that, the Canucks have no interest in him. None.
And that is hard to fathom, especially with the strong possibility the Canucks could lose first-liners Daniel and Henrik Sedin this week.
I mean, what’s not to like about Gaborik?
He has played 103 games fewer than the Sedins in the last three seasons.
He has played close to a full campaign only once in the last five seasons, while the slacker Sedins have missed seven games between them during that time.

If I’m reading this right, when McIntyre says the Canucks have no interest in Gaborik he doesn’t mean the Canucks, he means Ian McIntyre has no interest in Gaborik. McIntyre doesn’t refer to any anonymous source from the Canucks’ inner circle for his evaluation. He just refers to the stats Gaborik’s games missed due to injury.
