Gaborik Seeks Redemption

John Grigg at The Hockey News gives his Top 10 redemption-seeking players this season, where Marian Gaborik checks in at number two...

2. Marian Gaborik, RW, New York Rangers
He just may be the most electrifying player in the league, when he’s actually playing. Gaborik’s reputation precedes him - and it’s not a good one. He topped an unflattering Top 10 list earlier this summer. And he made headlines late last season when he was quoted basically as saying he hadn’t been watching Minnesota games and only cared about his comeback, not the Wild’s playoff aspirations. When he did get back, Gaborik posted 13 goals and 23 points in 17 games, numbers that would have won him the Rocket Richard Trophy and placed him second in the scoring race if he had played the full season. Gaborik is looking to show Rangers fans he is worth $7.5 million a season by staying healthy, putting up lots of points and being a good teammate. If those don’t happen, Broadway will be merciless.

...no pressure or anything Marian.
