Quoting: Campabee
You do realize that Gally has been on pace or acheived 30+ goals (prorated) in all of the last 4 years and was on a 50+ point pace over the same timeframe right!?
Quoting: ricochetii
Where do you get these ideas from?
Gallagher was on pace for 32 goals last year. 30 the year before. There's literally no sign of a decline.
Playoffs are somewhat valid as a point, but we all know he was playing with Danault and defaulted to a shut down role.
Guys eyes test
Gallagher seems exhausted after 20 secondes every shifts
He is not good at forechecking like before
He still a decent 2nd line winger, but that contract is another mistake made by Bergevin
Byron the first
Now Gallagher
Almost made it with Danault as well
Even if Tatar Danault Gallagher would have walked out, so what
We still have Caufield Anderson Toffoli(playing LW) Armia Ylönen on the RW
We made it too the Stanley Cup final ! It was the time to change the core, knowing Weber career was ending.
Our new veterans would be our dcore (Eddy Petey Savard) Price Anderson Toffoli Armia Lehkonen
Anyway I think it was mistake resigning Gallagher a year before he becomes UFA. We should have wait if he can do something in the playoffs but no, he doesn’t.
Lehkonen is a better player (version) of Gallagher in the postseason (the only thing Lehkonen doesn’t do is annoying the other team, but he goes in front of the net and works hard)
