Marián Gáborík Facts

Player Type: SniperSpeedster
Drafted: 2000 round 1 #3 overall by Minnesota Wild

One of the best skaters in the world, Gaborik is known for his explosive speed. He is a highly offensive winger and thanks to good hands and an extremely sharp shot, an excellent finisher. On the downside, Gaborik doesn't always think team-first and has also had issues with commitment to defensive play. (Matias Strozyk, 2011)

Brother: Branislav Gáborík
