I have watched Marian Gaborik play, and he is just something else to watch. But I get the sense from his lack of production that either A) he needs better line-mates or B) LeMaire needs to change the "system".
I know that he has a glass groin. But he has been healthy for the most part of this season. Yet his production is way down from what his potential is.
I actually think that it is LeMaire that is holding this rocket back. If he was ever unleashed, I think that he would be one of the highest (if not THE highest) scorer right now.

Gaborik does need line mate. Normally, when healthy and he has Demitra playing with him, he's good for over a point a game.
It's not Lemaire's system, it's his own and Demitra's health issues.
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

I Hope he finds something because he is lacking in the points department which is seriously hurting my chances of winning my pool.
Pavol Demitra seems like a great fit for him but they are both having some groin troubles.
Maybe a draft pick could be sacrificed for a playmaker. |

Maybe he's injured again.

| Gaboriks production when he is in the line up is spectacular, not only does he produce for the team, but he is somewhat of a lucky charm for that wild team and when he is in the line up, they seem to win very often. |

If the key factor is indeed having a good playmaker, then I am not sure if Demitra is the right person. Don't get me wrong, I think Demitra is a good player. However, I think Gaborik would do better with someone who has a little more jump in their legs. He seems to have lost some speed over the years. Someone like Straka would be a better fit I think. |

| Gaborik is an awesome player and if he ever geats over his groin problems watch his point totals soar. I think the groin situation is chronic and sooner or later he may need an operation. It must also be contagious because all of a sudden Demitra has been befallen with the same malady. I have Demitra on my pool team and need him back big time. I pay extra attention to Gaborik because he is Demitra's meal ticket, when they are both healthy, which seems like almost never. |

But when they are healthy there are incredible. Marian Gaborik has all the skill if he can get over this groin problem he will be a very dominant player. He is under rated on a under rated team. |

| I happen to know for sure (inside source) that Gaborik is the only Wild player who gets the green light for all-out offense. And it is always green. |

Is Gaborik being held back?
