Earlier this season, Gaborik was acquired in a trade that saw Dion Phaneuf sent to Los Angeles.

Gaborik appeared in 16 games, recording four goals and three assists. His last appearance came March 22, when he was sidelined with an undisclosed injury.

The 36-year-old has three seasons remaining on a contract that carries a $4.875-million salary cap hit.
