High Risk High Reward: The Future For The Sens?

[BigSlam]

I had mentioned in the other thread that I like what we are doing with the team. We are obviously not a contender right now - but we aren't that far off. Rather than blowing the team up, I like that we are taking a chance on a couple of kids who might be a risk due to a suspect injury history, but if they pay off, could pay off in a HUGE way.

Leclaire, if healthy, could be the answer to the goal tending woes we have had forever.
Jared Cowen, if the knee is ok, could end up being the answer to solidifying our defense and become a true general down there.

How would you feel about one more high risk, high reward type player?

Marian Gaborik.

If we can trade Heater, Gaborik could fill the void when it comes to putting the puck in the back of the net. Because he has had trouble staying on the ice, maybe we could get him at a discounted rate - or at least a lot cheaper than what we are paying Heater.

Thoughts? Would it be worth targeting Gaborik in FA?

I think the Sens are heading in the right direction.

Would you take the risk and bring in Gabroik?

OT: How did you become a Sens fan slaterbug? Where abouts in Australia are you from?

If we trade Heatley yes i'd take a risk and bring in Gabroik.

I'm from Victoria. It took me a while to start liking NHL but after following it more and more I started to get a feel for it and needed a team to pick! I really liked the Sens' name, logo and uniform - they had a good team a few years back with some great players so I went with them.
