An injury prone Gaborik still has more merit than a non-injury prone Sedins.
They're at the peak of their careers and despite their success, I don't really see them outplaying the NHL's top teams and top Defensemans. A lot of their goals are of the benefit of AV line juggling so that they can play against players on a tired-long-end of a shift, a team's 3rd line pluggers, or a team of small size.
Unlike Gaborik, who can play with NHL's best.
The twins are great if you want a regular season success. If you want post-season success, Gaborik's your better bet.
Seriously, the twin's cute plays may work wonders on teams like EDM, LA, or the like, but aren't gonna work on teams that tighten up the deeper they go into the Play Offs.
