Sure as hell want to keep Gallagher for life!!

Love the 14M cap hit hahaha! It's true, there's nothing to worry about IF we really want to keep him AND let Tatar walk.
I would sign Armia though, and maybe try to trade him for a LW decent player - Toffoli is NOT as effective on LW as he is on RW, according to what I've been reading around.

Great post.

I dont think its that you necessarily can't afford him.

Its whether or not you want to be the team to give him his next contract considering he will be 29 years old when his new deal kicks in, coupled with his style of play. might make sense to get value for him instead.

I 100% get your point, but that's another story. There are just so many people thinking that it's a cap space issue here and on twitter (where I shared this post).
