From TSN, 8:21 PM ET...

Former Minnesota Wild winger Marian Gaborik has agreed to a five-year contract with the New York Rangers.

The Slovak forward will earn $7.5 million per year.

Gaborik played his entire seven-year career with the Wild, scoring 219 goals and 437 points in 502 games. Injuries limited Gaborik to just 13 goals and 23 points in 17 games this season. Gaborik set career highs in goals (42), assists (41) and points (83) in 77 games during the 2007-2008 campaign.

The 27-year-old was Minnesota's first pick (third overall) at the 2000 NHL Entry Draft.

Wild guess, but I'm thinking they can no longer afford Heatley's salary...

Where do they get the money from? Seriously, are they cap exempt?

They have so much cap space it's not funny. Montreal took Gomez and sent back an RFA.

Yeah that's what I was thinking - they are spending unwisely. They'll have no room to re-sign their young guys, and will end up recycling players every year. Eventually nobody will be able to take their problems off of them anymore.

He might be a hell of a talent...but the guy plays like 30 games a year. What are they thinking? They offload one bad contract only to turn around 24 hours later and bring in another one.

I am not sure they think.

They must be thinking that they can add Gaborik without giving up Dubinsky or Staal, but I just don't see this kind of deal. I don't get it for the Rangers.

Hey all it takes is for him to play those 30 games in April, May, and June and this would look like the smartest signing of all time Smile

The Rangers are still minus-2 for training camp (with Dubinsky still not signed). Winger Marian Gaborik, with what is believed to be a tweaked groin, was held off the ice for the second day.

:****: A groin injury? Shocking.

I get the feeling that Gab's contract will the be big fat elephant in that dressing room. Yikes. Hopefully it is unrelated to the problems in the past, for Gaborik's sake

Well of course it is related. He's had groin issues every year. It may not be severe, but the fact that it's happening right from the start is really, really bad.
