NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Rangers are already spending the money saved when Scott Gomez was traded to the Montreal Canadiens, handing it over to flashy forward Marian Gaborik.
New York made its usual splash in the free-agent market Wednesday night by signing Gaborik, who scored a career-high 42 goals in the 2007-08 season with the Minnesota Wild. He was limited to 17 games last season due to injuries.
The 27-year-old Gaborik was the only remaining player from the Wild’s original team, and was the club’s first draft pick nine years ago. He is the Wild’s career-leading scorer.
Gomez was traded to Montreal on Tuesday for forward Chris Higgins in a six-player deal.
