Marian Gaborik has been an above-average possession player for quite some time. Since 2008-09 (when Gaborik played just 17 games), he's only put up a negative Corsi Relative % once, in 2010-11. However, last season, he was barely above average, so his first full season with the Los Angeles Kings was our chance to see whether he'd show a large improvement on Anze Kopitar's wing. Answer: a resounding yes. Gaborik posted not only the best raw Corsi For % (59.48%) on the Kings, he just missed beating out Pavel Datsyuk (59.63%) and Jordan Staal (59.54%) for the best figure in the entire NHL.
