LAK Re-Sign [F] Marián Gáborík to 7-Year/$34.3M Extension; $4.9M AAV

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

 @TheFourthPeriod: Expecting Kings and Gaborik to finalize new contract as early as today. Both sides working to quick conclusion.
 
 

 @drosennhl: Kings announce Gaborik has signed a 7 year contract.

 @RealKyper: #Kings Gaborik #NHL 7 yr deal comes in just north of 34m. His aav comes in under 5m. Good deal for LA
 
 
The AAV is good, but not the years IMO

Done deal

7 yrs for an injury prone 32 year old. Yuck

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

LOL 7 YEARS, a bit too much there

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

The AAV is not too bad though, but 7 years is pretty awful

The 7 is fine. He can walk and there is no cap penalty.

The 7 is fine. He can walk and there is no cap penalty.

It's pretty much a lump cost for them though. Probably after 4 years. He's also injury prone

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Basically. With the cap continuing to go up, 4.9 for a guy who can probably give you 25-30 goals isn't bad.
 
Get 4 years and then whatever.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

They just gotta hope he stays healthy to put up those goals
