I also think the loss of martinez and gaborik are really huge. martinez was arguably a top pairing Dman for LA this year. 10 goals, 30+pts, +16. 21+mins/gm is a gigantic hole. Similar to losing a guy like pickles. And of course Gaborik is a sniper of the 1st degree. Glad the sharks are getting LA without those two, and that may well be the difference between the two teams.
