I think Marc Bergevin likes to troll the media in his off time. Either that or he and Gally have a passion for roleplay.


This is about what I expected. The Chris Krieder deal, as he is a direct comparable. One year less, but the same deal otherwise. This is a solid deal. Thanks for the drama MTL.



Congratulations, forum passerby. You've been baited by a buff French dude.

Gallagher is still really good, but it's kind of awkward being a Montreal right wing at the moment - there's like 12 of you

Reasonable price for a 30 goal scorer

Slight overpay, but considering how good his last contract was its fine.

Great deal we are now stacked at right wing with Toffoli, Gallagher, Anderson, and Caufield ( Armia is definitely gone )

That's a lot for Gallagher's production, but he is the heart and soul of the team. Losing a guy like that would have a negative effect on the locker room so it's somewhat justified

Probably, but this can still be used as a comparable

Toffolli is going to LW. He already said Bergevin talked to him about it before signing.

One day after Pierre Le Brun tweet that Gallagher's contract negotiation was broken, he signs an extension. Another prove that we can't believe in mainstream anymore, even in sports.

Too much money imo. He’s at best a 65 point winger imo. At best.

I know it’s just in some armchair gm’s I’ve done people are like Toffoli is a right winger even though I know he can play left since I saw him play for the 67’s when he was in the OHL. Also I was listing their main position not necessarily the position they were going to play

lmao top 10 rw in the league prove me other wise. He is the heart of this team plus a proven thirty goal scorer plus at 28 shouldnt be any age concerns

No 65 point winger is getting less than 6.5 mil
