<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>No he really hasn't, he was on pace for 30 last season, how is that slowing down? Also the "injuries" are from being hit with the puck by shots not wear and tear. Brainstorm must also be slowing down from injuries too cause he currently has a broken hand from blocking a shot, oh better add Bowen Byram to that list since he is out with an upper body injury (most likely a concussion since he was elbowed in the head). Players get injured it is part of the game, that doesn't mean they are slowing down it just means they got injured. Gallagher's injuries have been a result of being hit by a puck traveling at over 90 mph its not like Weber's where his body is just so beaten up he can't continue playing anymore. If Weber actually had any kind of aim on his shots Gallagher wouldn't have had those broken hands, instead he just gripped it and ripped it so to speak. He will get back on that 30 goal pace soon he is already almost at a 20 goal pace right now so a couple of good games and things will turn around.</div></div>

I don't think you understand the type of game Gallagher plays, so I'll be polite in explaining it. The heavy and grinding style he plays is extremely rough and tough on his body. Those players do not have a long shelf life in the NHL and deteriorate a lot faster than others. The best examples that come to mind are Simmonds, Lucic, Filigno, D.Brown, Kesler, and so on. Their bodies are a lot more brittle and because of those accumulated injuries, they deteriorate and fall off from the league a lot faster. Gallagher's contract will be "okay" for 1-3 more seasons, but the latter is going to be extremely rough, and will probably end up in LTIR or shipped somewhere else.

Also, Comparing it to Brannstrom and Byram are awful examples lol. They are literally just entering the league and is their first major injuries vs how many Gallagher has accumulated over his career.

That's why this deal is a steal for MTL and will never happen
