I'm hearing now Gaborik to #lakings is a done deal. Don't know for what

Michael Russo @Russostrib
Hate to backtrack on Twitter (always fun), but now told Gaborik to #lakings is not quite done deal. Source is close to Gaborik tho

done deal
Aaron Portzline @Aportzline
#CBJ get 2nd rd pick, which was originally Toronto's pick. Also get a 3rd-rd pick if Kings win first-round playoff series or resign Gaborik.

I hope he misses the rest of the season with one of his signature bouts with injury.

[Badgers Nose]

Oh noes they won't want all our calamari.

[kyuss275]

Lol sureloss faster than the networks

[formulate]

Would be bad news for the Flames by taking a potential suitor off the market.

[Francis's Hairpiece]

Wow. That's quite a boost in scoring. I wonder what they gave up?

[killer_carlson]

Nuts.

I thought they were our best bet for cammalerri

[jschick88]

Probably had to give up one of Vey or Pearson. We will see.

Yeah that sucks, but if it's true that the NYR and Callahan are close on a deal, and Kesler is really off the market until the draft, we should be ok.

[JonDuke]

Man...you're fast sureLoss

[Oling_Roachinen]

Columbus is in the wild card spot today. Doubt they've given up.

Will have to see what they get but maybe they do go after someone like Cammalleri as a replacement for Gaborik.

[Bourque's Twin]

The return of this trade will give us a really good indication of what Cammy will return.

[The Yen Man]

Maybe Columbus will inquire about Cammallari then. You'd think since they're still in the playoff hunt, they might be interested in adding.

[sworkhard]

I guess this just means that CBJ can be added to the list of Cammy Suitors...

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

But Cammy and the Gio for the Muzzin and the Clitford..............

I'm not sure about that. Gabby makes Cammy look like an iron man. He also makes $1.5 million more.

He is backtracking a bit now:

Billy Jaffe ‏@BJaffe3m
Just told LAK deal NOT done yet. Discussions have def heated up

[FlamesAllTheWay]

Don't know how well he's going to fit in under a Darryl Sutter system. Seems the Kings brand of hockey isn't exactly conducive to the offense-first mentality.

Upgrade offensively nonetheless though. Hopefully this kick starts Vanek, Moulson, Cammy deals.

EDIT: All above subject to trade actually happening.....

[CliffFletcher]

He's basically being run out of Columbus because of his lackadaisical play without the puck. Hard to see how the Kings under Sutter will be a good fit.
