. Havlat adds even more speed to a very quick Minnesota lineup.
The Wild lost star Marian Gaborik to the New York Rangers in free-agency earlier on Wednesday. Gaborik played in just 17 games last season for his club, due to a nagging hip injury. The team rallied around the loss of their dynamic player though, finishing ninth and just being two points out of a playoff berth. With the addition of Havlat, this team is one to be reckoned with. Stud center Mikko Koivu scored 67 points to lead the team, and crafty winger Andrew Brunette added 50 points. Placing Havlat on a power-play line with these two strong players could improve the Wild's chances of earning a playoff spot.

ers GM Glen Sather announced late Wednesday that the club has agreed to terms with star free-agent, Marian Gaborik.
The Slovakian right-wing had a troubling season in Minnesota last year, playing in only 17 games caused by a nagging hip injury. Even though his time was limited, he was still able to scrape together 23 points. Gaborik has had surgery since then and the Rangers are hoping that he can return to his old form.
