At first glance, Gallagher seems like just another junior-level, bottom-pair defender without any clear standouts to his game. However, anyone who watches a Ty Gallagher shift will notice one constant: discipline. He does not cut corners and always tries to go the extra mile. His lack of standout tools and his lack of consistency might be a detractor to scouts, but he is decent at everything: rush neutralizations, box-outs, stick checking, body checking, breakout passes, and defensive zone activations are all tools he uses to play a sound, almost mechanical game in his own zone.

He could be, after all he is a 7th round pick, but then again, he has all the potential to be a very good college player, and get a pro contract.

All time leader for goals scored by a defenseman in the USNTDP. Didn't realize that, may have an elite shot

Thought was going in 4th round

excellent 7th round all around

Hmm maybe Sweeney has learned from the last six years. Good to hear. There's always room for redemption. I'm always impressed when someone can step away from their baser instincts and rethink their modus operandi.

This is going to sound absurd for a 7th rounder, but I had a late first round grade on this player.

Awful usage from a terrible new coach caused this guy’s stock to plummet this year.

Gallagher is a two way defenseman who is slightly more offensively inclined. He has an elite shot from the point. The type of shot that can beat goalies clean. He also has good offensive instincts and playmaking. He’s not flashy, but he’s a PP type. Defensively, he’s right around average. Size isn’t bad either. Skating is a little below average. I think he has top pair potential.
