From Mike Chen (hey, that’s me!) at Versus.com:

Marian Gaborik and David Legwand don’t have too much in common. Gaborik is a speedy scorer from the Czech Republic while Legwand is a U.S.-born center. Gaborik’s contractual future is uncertain while Legwand signed a long-term extension last season. Gaborik scores highlight-reel goals for the Minnesota Wild (when healthy) while Legwand is a fixture on both the penalty kill and the power play for the Nashville Predators.

What do they have in common? Both were the first draft picks in their respective franchises’ history and both are entering the prime of their careers. And both are currently the subject of much fan frustration and discussion.

Read more about Gaborik and Legwand as a preview of this week’s Minnesota/Washington (tonight) and St. Louis/Nashville (tomorrow night) games on Versus.
