Marian Gaborik admitted getting traded to the Ottawa Senators came as a surprise, but intends on making the best of the situation. The 36-year-old was acquired Tuesday night in a trade that saw the Senators send Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson to the Los Angeles Kings for Gaborik and forward Nick Shore. "I think every player wants to compete in the playoffs and to play for the Cup," said Gaborik. "Hopefully I can come back to being myself and play good hockey for Ottawa," said Gaborik. Senators head coach Guy Boucher is pairing Harpur with Cody Ceci, saying he believes they'll be a good fit.
