<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mastersp4</b></div><div>Found this on another post :

See, now that's a legitimate concern that can be debated in terms of value. Much better than he's 30 and has a 5 year deal. The latter only has bearing when age is noticeably a factor in a player's decline.

Gallagher's only injury concern should be his left hand, really. It's not like he has a chronic illness. He's just always in the tough areas of the ice and a victim of bad luck. Him "paying the price" is a merit, not a detraction.

He's never relied on speed, agility, or his shot. That makes him less susceptible to decline. He's going to get hurt, that's an occupational hazard. That never stops him. He comes back and keeps doing the same thing he did before, no fear and a smile on his face.

There's been no noticeable impact on his game due to injuries. He's still remained on a 30 goal pace in shortened seasons. This year is an anomaly until proven otherwise.

If you are pretty sure he's going to miss a dozen or so games a season, and your team can't handle that, I'll even agree with you that you shouldn't trade for him.
Most teams are okay with that risk for a player that is otherwise effective, but not every team has the depth.

People simply need to get out of this mindset that 30+ automatically means washed up or declining. Now we aren't even letting players turn 30 before declaring them cap dumps. That's simply wrong.</div></div>

I don’t think 30 something is washed, but if you just spent three years moving a lot of your 30 something players to get younger and immediately get a 30 something player by giving up those young assets you got over those three years, I have to think you aren’t doing a great job rebuilding.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>Gally is signed too long and his decline has been too pronounced to justify a 1st and Vilardi. I also don’t see the Kings in on Chiarot or any other rentals.

Danault has made several of our players look good, finding a player with chemistry with him isn’t the issue, they just need a sure fire 25 goal player if they are spending $5M+ on his winger.</div></div>
