Value of: Alex Galchenyuk as a free agent

[ElPrimeTime]

I'd hive him a PTO in Edmonton.

I was coming to post the exact same thing, but give instead of hive.

'we fixed his skating'

guess more needed fixin'

You needed to make him better. Stronger. Faster.

Bruh, you must know full well that pretty much everyone on here parcels up the team, fans and media into one giant group for the purpose of talking smack. My apologies.

Yep, complain about the fanbase being victims of generalizations while generalizing what "pretty much everyone" around here does.

I think bruins should sign him as insurance for 2nd c.

 

[I am Canadian]

I'm sure the Leafs offered him an 800K contract. He's probably looking for 1.75/2M imo

 

[HyperX]

He stinks, bad

he should seek money overseas where he can actually do well

 

[Marner4Life]

I thought he did well in Toronto. I'm honestly surprised they didn't keep him for some cheap forward depth.

I believe Leafs offered him a million or less again but he wants more!

You my friend, have a lot of catching up to do.

You my friend, have a lot of catching up to do.

I like the guy I think he still can put points on the board. Not a bad emergency option in case bruins 2nd c options go dry.

Please just go to Europe already.....

There are so many articles about the Toronto Maple Leafs out there that look like they came straight out of The Onion.

The one you referenced is an example.

There also was an article about how Joe Thornton was "bringing the fire with playoffs looming".

Mark Masters: Joe Thornton ‘bringing more fire’ to Toronto Maple Leafs lineup with playoffs looming - TSN.ca

This post is just uninformed. That article was written after the last Jets game where he bullied Ehlers around the ice and made him miss the remainder of the season. Before the game, he said it was time to switch to playoff mode. And then he had a monster game and was a pest all over the ice. I could pull any random article like this from any team after a big game.

Mannnn my MTL Galchenyuk jersey 27 is so useless now

 

[Zats Muccarello]

What happened to him?

 

[Mac Attack]

May be a PTO with Colorado, it will be a good try.

No thanks. We dont need bargain bin offence coupled with subpar defence.

No need to call him stupid.

KHL.....

 

[HabsQC]

Damn. Whatever happened to the hype train coming out of Toronto? Weren't they going to rebuild him?

The hype train crashed when he made a turnover pass on Caufield's tape in overtime in game 5. (Needless to say in the first round)

 

[sansabri]

What happened to him?

didn't improve as a player. not much has changed from his rookie year

Collectors item, it could be the only one in existence.

Strange the Leafs didn't resign him. He seemed to fit in with the rest of the Leaf players during their playoff run.

 

[ManofSteel55]

What happened to him?

Nothing. He just never improved on the parts of the game that non-elite players need to improve on to sustain an NHL career.

I'd wager the first team to offer him more than a one year deal wins the sweepstakes. He would guess he is going to have to work with a PTO

 

[kyne]

A one dimensional player who is a good fit for Switzerland or the KHL but not the NHL.

 

[Habby4Life]

What happened to him?

TOO much partying and zero hockey iq. BAd combination

as a habs fan i would be absolutely thrilled to hear this was happening.
