In the ducks series No one could score on Giguer. He shut out the red wings and the stars and us. pluse his goalie pads were huge.

I'd have to pick Havlat over Gaborik for one major reason:
Consistency.

Both are very talented offensive players, both show their offensive brilliance often. Both have scored 30 goals in a season etc. etc.
But Havlat has been the player who tends to score with relative consistency. He'll also have the nights where he'll get a hat trick, but unlike Gaborik he'll produce points throughout the season, and tends not to have scoring slumps.
Gaborik on the other hand tends to produce hugely at times and then none at all at other times. In the Vancouver-Minnesota series he absolutely dominated, but disappeared for the Ducks series. In 2002-03 he was one of the top goal scorers for most of the season, before he disappeared for the last 25 games or so.
Havlat is a guy who shows up every night, and has produced better stats each season he's played. I expect this season that he'll get to 75-85 points with 35-40 goals in his increased role. Gaborik could either be a 100 point player this year or 50, he's just more of a crapshoot.
