An a different note: Based on Lemaire’s comments/reactions so far this season, does it seem like he’s losing his patience overall?

It is hard to imagine that the Wild would get much more than that at the deadline and you have to factor in the groin or just plan to sit him after Christmas. If I were DR I would have probably traded Gaby on or after July 1 as I always had the feeling that the system or huge $ or even the KHL was going to lead #10 out of MN.

In addition, it in no way can help Ballgame's leverage that Gaby has been on the ice for exactly 3 of the team's 11 contests (including preseason) so far and right now teams would be a little more "hesitant" to unload a bonanza, then hope he can stay healthy all year, then hope it can resign him to an extension so as not to lose him for nothing in return next July. At the deadline, however, teams are much more willing to take that chance.

The forecast for post Gaby trade day is for heavy smug :) I prefer Doug Smugsborough but it can only be used when smug is in the air. The forecast for post Gaby trade day is for heavy smug :)
