Prospect Info: 217th pick overall - Ty Gallagher

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

If there ever was a draft where there was a high “hit” rate on late round picks this years is the one
 
I actually don't believe the round a guy was picked in really matters to me this draft. Sounds like many of these kids could have been taken anywhere. Circumstances made true rankings a lot more difficult.

It does feel like the Bruins did a hell of a job this draft though. When you can look at a guy drafted in the seventh round and say "wow I'm really excited to watch how he develops", it speaks volumes.

This is the first draft in a long time that I feel you can say that about every pick. A bit of everything in this one.

Lysell = Obvious reasons

Harrison = big, scored as an OHL rookie

Svedeback = Raw but athletic, unknown to me

Jellvik = kind of an unknown to me, but like the scouting reports

Mast = big/nasty/RHD

Grasseau = BC bound, big with some upside


Gallagher = Sounds like a kid with some talent that was not utilized properly. BU bound.

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.

Nice!
Feel like no one on the back end can get their shots through.

Charlie's got a muffin shot. Grizz can't hit the net. Carlo's Carlo. Etc.....

Gallagher will be at Colorado College this year playing for Kris Mayotte as the Tigers look to get back to the NCAA Tournament. Gallagher had some decent stretches at BU but hasn't taken the next step.
 
Career-high 26 points but CC slid a bit this year and season came to a crashing end after a nice start.

Did he do enough to earn an ELC?
 
Signing Gallagher is a no brainer
I would also sign Myrenberg but his injury evaluation might cause some angst, obviously my preference would be Providence but loaning him back to Sweden for a year isn’t a bad plan B
I'm still on the fence with Schmaltz, faceoff and defensive specialist with limited upside, but has intangibles

Agree on Gallagher. I have some concerns about Myrenberg. He didn't look like half the player he was pre injury. And even after he did come back, missed a game because of soreness.

I wouldn't use a contract spot for Schmaltz. Just way too many centers for him to jump over.

Any thoughts/reasons for it?

Not that I heard- I know Dom and Chris discussed it on their podcast a couple of times but I don't believe either knew exactly what happened. I do wonder myself, though. It seems like it was a playstyle issue on the surface of things?
