Will The Kings Be Able to Get Marian Gaborik back for playoffs?

That same season, he appeared in one Slovak Extraliga game with Dukla Trenčín’s men’s team, scoring a goal in his professional debut. The following season, in 1998–99, he joined Dukla Trenčín in the Slovak Extraliga full-time and registered 20 points over 33 games as a rookie. Gáborík then improved to 46 points in 50 games the following season in his draft year.
“Hope to get him back for the playoffs,” Sutter said.
Gáborík was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on March 5, 2014, in exchange for forward Matt Frattin, a second-round draft pick and a conditional third-round pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The Kings’ acquisition of Gáborík paid dividends in the 2014 playoffs, as he went on to lead the playoffs with 14 goals and contributed to the Kings’ effort in capturing their second Stanley Cup in three years, prevailing over his former club, the New York Rangers.
It is a tough loss for the Kings on multiple levels. Gaborik had been showing signs of regaining his scoring touch, and the team will miss his game-breaking ability and knack of creating something out of nothing.
