you know, it's funny...we spent all last season talking about Forsberg, all summer talking about Sundin....but really, I don't care about Gaborik. To me, he's very unproven and one dimensional....I know he's fast and a scorer but he's not going to deliver a Cup to any team soon.

I still wish there's a chance we get Sundin and a goalie but I'm not going to lose any sleep or Gaborik.....

Just my two cents :pirat: arrrrrrr

For a guy who has such an elite skillset, I really would not want him.

He'd cost too much, his contract demands are horrendous, and his defensive game sucks.

Sundin, I would take in a heartbeat. A goalie, well that's a given. Gaborik, no thanks.

Yeah, but in Minny a goal against, is almost as bad as a game lost... LOL

I don't really know, don't really watch them too often, but they are known to be pretty bad...
