Marián Gáborík (born February 14, 1982 in Trenčín , Czechoslovakia ) is a Slovak ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Ottawa Senators in the National Hockey League since February 2018 . The winger began his career at home HC Dukla Trenčín before he was selected in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft by the newly formed Minnesota Wild in third overall position. He was active in Minnesota for nine years and holds franchise records there to this day . Then the Slovak ran for the New York Rangers , Columbus Blue Jackets and Los Angeles Kings , where he won the Stanley Cup with the Kings in 2014 . With the Slovak national team , Gáborík took part in the Winter Olympics in 2006 and 2010 as well as in numerous world championships.
Career
Gáborík began his career in his birthplace at HC Dukla Trenčín . In the 1995/96 season he made his debut at the age of 14 in the junior extra league for his home club. In the following season he scored 71 points scorer in 52 games this season for his junior team and had excellent statistics with a plus / minus value of +58. In the 1997/98 season he continued to play for the Dukla juniors, scoring 91 points in 47 games this season. These achievements moved the head coach of the professional team, Jaroslav Walter , Gáborík to make his debut in the extra league. In his first professional game, he scored a goal.
After he had completed nine games for the juniors in the 1998/99 season, Gáborík received a regular place in the professional squad of his club and reached with this the playoff quarter-finals, in which this was defeated by HKm Zvolen with 0-3 victories. Although he was only 17 years old, Gáborík quickly established himself in the Extraliga and was one of the leading players on his team in the following season - with 46 points from 50 regular-time games, he was Dukla Trenčín's second-best scorer behind Ľubomír Hurtaj . Because of the performance shown, he was one of the most promising candidates to be selected in the first round before the NHL Entry Draft 2000 . Ultimately, the Minnesota Wild picked him third.
Minnesota Wild (2000-2009)
In July 2000, Gáborík received a three-year rookie contract that earned him $ 1.075 million annually plus bonus payments. This made him the highest-paid rookie of all time in the NHL. On October 6, 2000, the Slovak completed his first NHL game in the encounter against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and scored the first goal for the newly formed Minnesota Wild franchise . The 18-year-old left-shot became the youngest player in NHL history to score the first goal for a National Hockey League expansion team. He finished his rookie season with 36 points from 71 encounters. Gáborík missed ten games due to injury. In his second season with the Wild, the attacker hit the mark of 30 goals this season. On November 13, 2001, he managed his first hat trick against the Atlanta Thrashers . In February 2002 he took part as a rookie in the NHL YoungStars Game , in which two teams selected from the best rookies competed against each other. In this game he was successful with one goal and two assists and was subsequently voted the second best player of the game. Around a month later, he became the first player in franchise history to be voted NHL Player of the Week after Gáborík scored seven goals in four games.
In the 2002/03 season , Gáborík led the wild by 30 goals, including three hat tricks, and 35 assists for the first time in the playoffs, in which they reached the final of the Western Conference . After victories against the Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks , the Slovak with the Wild lost in four encounters against the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the following round. In the playoffs he was again the team's most successful scorer and scored 17 points. During the season he was also a participant in the NHL All-Star Game and represented the team at the Western Conference . In the game itself, the offensive player was successful with three points. He had previously won the fastest ice skater competition at the SuperSkills Competition . At the end of the 2002/03 season, his contract with the Wild ran out and initially the two parties could not agree on a contract extension. Therefore, Gáborík began the following season at his home club in the Slovak Extra League. It was only in October 2003 that he extended his contract with the Minnesota Wild, which was worth three years and over 10 million US dollars plus bonus payments.
He spent the 2004/05 strike season in Europe, playing for his home club Dukla Trenčín and in Sweden for Färjestad BK . In the 2005/06 season , Gáborík set a franchise record with 38 goals this season, which he surpassed himself two years later. On November 25, 2005 he scored the 100th goal in his 300th NHL game. In July 2006, he extended his expiring contract with the Minnesota Wild for three years. This contract included a significant pay increase and the attacker, who was previously a top earner at the Wild, received a total of 19 million US dollars for three years.
On December 20, 2007 Gáborík scored as the first player since Mario Lemieux in the 1995/96 season five goals in regular time of a game in the 6-3 victory of the Minnesota Wild over the New York Rangers . In March 2008, he was appointed team captain for the first time for a month .
With the beginning of the 2008/09 season, contract negotiations between Gáborík and the Wild began, since his contract expired in the summer of 2009. Wild's maximum bid was a ten-year contract for $ 80 million. He declined this offer. He injured his groin in October 2008 and underwent hip surgery in January 2009. Therefore, by the end of the season, he only played 17 games for the Wild, in which he collected 23 points scorer.
Since the contractual partners could not agree on an extension, his contract expired at the end of the season. He left the wild after eight seasons as a franchise record scorer, record template maker and top scorer.
New York Rangers (2009-2013)
In the summer of 2009, Gáborík became an unrestricted free agent . On the first day of the transition period, July 1, 2009, he signed a five-year contract with the New York Rangers, contrary to all press speculation. In total, this contract was worth 37.5 million US dollars .
In the first ten games for his new club, he scored twelve goals. In October 2009, Gáborík suffered a knee injury that he sustained in a clash with Petr Průcha of the Phoenix Coyotes . Although his club did not reach the playoffs in 2010, it was an overall successful first season with the Rangers for Gáborík. He completed 76 games in which he scored 42 goals and reached a total of 86 points scorer. On January 9, 2011, he scored four goals and one assist in the Rangers 7-0 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs .
Columbus, Los Angeles and Ottawa (since 2013)
At the trade deadline on April 3, 2013, he was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets . Overall, he completed only 34 games for the Blue Jackets due to several injuries before they gave him up again the following year. On March 5, 2014, Gáborík moved to the trade deadline for the Los Angeles Kings , who transferred Matt Frattin , a second-round and a third-round suffrage to Columbus. At the end of the season he won the Stanley Cup with his new team . In addition, the Slovakian played his 1,000th game in the NHL in December 2017 in the Kings jersey.
In February 2018, the Kings and Nick Shore handed it over to the Ottawa Senators and received Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson in return . Due to a herniated disc and subsequent operation, he did not play a competitive game for the Senators in the 2018/19 season.
