Covering just about every trade on deadline day is hard enough. Another big name that moved was former Ranger Marian Gaborik. He was dealt from the Blue Jackets to the Kings in exchange for forward Matt Frattin, a second round pick and conditional third.

Gaborik has only played in 22 games this season for Columbus. In Year Two with the Jackets after the Rangers dealt him at last year’s deadline for Derick Brassard, Derek Dorsett and John Moore, the 32-year old has six goals and eight assists totaling 14 points. He’s missed significant time this season due to a knee sprain and broken collarbone. After scoring 41 goals and 76 points to help the Rangers reach the Conference Finals, Gaborik has totaled just 18 goals and 41 points over 69 games since.

Analysis: In the final year of a contract that pays him $7.5 million, Gaborik moves onto his third team in a year. The Kings were always interested in his services. Now, hoping he can add offense they finally get him as a rental. He should have plenty of incentive entering the summer unrestricted. Certainly, the Jackets did well getting a solid return. Frattin is a depth player who supplies energy and they got potentially two picks for the future. It’s a fair deal for both sides.
