from Michael Russo of the Star Tribune,
Marian Gaborik doesn’t need to play in another city to be among the top scorers in the NHL.
That was the message Wild management delivered to Gaborik during a four-hour dinner meeting last week in Trencin, Slovakia—the first step in a journey the Wild hopes ends in a long-term extension to Gaborik’s contract before next season….
“We showed him a lot more info than any player has ever seen before—how we scout, how we measure players statistically,” Lynn said. “We also listened to his opinions.
“We just talked about the team, how we operate and where we are going, and then his performance and place in the future. So I would say it was a good meeting in that (a) it happened, and (b) Marian had good input, observations and understanding.”
I do hope you are not falling for all of the Gaborik trade talk these days. Just a little bit of advice, it is all made up, trying to attract people to visit a website, you know, for the ‘hits’.
