Where is Gaborik?

I'm wondering where Gaborik has been all series. I've seen him on the penalty kill a few times but other than that I haven't noticed him. When I have seen him he kind of looks timid out there, and seems to be playing smaller than he should.

Gaborik's play the last four games has left me wondering if he will be worth the massive contract he is going to demand. Does his style of play fit the playoffs in the modern NHL? Can the Wild sign both Gaborik and Koivu long term? I pick Koivu as the player I invest in.

Hopefully Gabby breaks out of his slump in game 5.

Gaborik played a little better tonight. I saw a couple of good shifts from him. I actually noticed him a few times. He still played way to timid out there for being the Wild's best player. Hopefully he can bust out in game 6.

I still wonder if he will be worth the big contract that he demands. I don't think his game fits playoff hockey. Maybe I am being a little rash rejudging him on his most recent 5 playoff games, but I've changed my thoughts on how important it will be to sign him. Gabby is going to want Ignala/Ovechkin money and he just isn't that type of player. Mikko Koivu is the player the Wild must keep long term. Maybe trade Gaborik then the Wild can spend money on Koivu, a free agent, and Bouchard. Sign Gaborik and options become limited.
