Do the LA Kings win the 2014 Stanley Cup without Marian Gaborik?

Drafted third overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, Marian Gaborik found his way to the LA Kings during the 2013-2014 season. To that point, Gaborik broke into the NHL as an 18-year-old, logging 18 points with 18 assists for 36 points during the 2000-2001 campaign. For his efforts, he finished seventh in the Calder Trophy voting.

He remained with the Wild through the 2008-2009 season before signing a lucrative five-year contract worth $37.
