Proposal: Brendan Gallagher to Oilers

[The Price is Right]

It would be a nice fit with the Oilers. Obviously Habs would need to retain 50% off the contract.

Lol.. let's take a step in the right direction as a franchise.. first step, retain 50% of Gallagher's contract for the next 7yrs.................

Back to the drawing board sir.. back to the drawing board!

 

[Ciao]

5.5 years. Still a bad idea.

 

[Taytro]

That's just not gonna happen.

 

[glenbuis]

50% retention on gallagher for bouchard maybe . other than that it's not happening

 

[TheNumber4]

Don’t want him on the Oilers. Good player but Tampa showed he can get physically dominated and rendered near ineffective without retribution or drawing penalties in the playoffs.

 

[Seachd]

50% retention on gallagher for bouchard maybe .

I think we could agree that's not likely to happen.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

At full price Gallagher has negative value. If they retained 50% like OP suggested he could probably fetch a decent futures package even though the prospect of taking on a declining player with 6 years on his deal is not appealing.

Ah yes because the Oilers certainly will give up their breakout top 10 pick who has secured his role on the top pair for Montreal's struggling player. Definitely makes sense.

I was going to light you up for asking for Bouchard.. again. I see a number of people beat me to it. I think the idea that Bouchard will ever end up in a Habs uniform can be put to rest. No chance. No how.

 

[sansabri]

no chance habs retain for that many years

Horrible contract even at 50% for Edmonton. Impossible retention for the Habs.

 

[GreeningOil]

I would do our 1st 2021 & b prospect @ 50% retention.

 

[LMFAO]

Just trade Chiarot to Edmonton already lol

We all know he will be dealt here at some point this season.

 

[The Left Shark]

Gallagher for E. Kane straight up

 

[Drake1588]

Retention isn't going to happen with a contract that runs through July 2027. I'm not sure the Habs are eager to move him, anyway. I think they'll burn off a few years of that deal and then explore moving the last couple of years, assuming there's a market. The sticker shock is no joke.

 

[BudBundy]

The Habs gave Gallagher the “keep him forever” contract. I like the player, but you get to keep him.

And suggesting the Oilers would trade Bouchard for him? Absolutely no way in hell.

 

[beowulf]

Ya no, better of keeping him that retaining 50% that makes no sense.

 

[Hunter368]

His contract is bad and very long......no chance the Habs retain that long.

well i believe there will be a very solid chance when an offer sheet comes along . now that you have limited cap space for the next umpteen years just remember you heard it here first .

p.s. the 8-9 million a season will be well spent vs the 9 plus you'll be spending on nurse

Toffoli and Chiarot to EDM makes some sense no?
Maybe Jake Allen too if Skinner goes back down to AHL?

Put the 2022 1st or Broberg + a couple adds and shore up some depth spots.

Broberg is worth more than Big Ben.. and not really interested in giving up our first but if for both Pieces .. I'm down

You aren't getting either Bouchard or Broberg . There not one thing on the Habs I would trade our 2 prized young D for . Now I know Montreal fans will scream bloody murder over me saying that but when you consider Edmonton's needs there just no way a deal makes sense . Edmonton D has 3 injured players and 1 in Covid-19 quarantine where would we be with out this players ? 4 d injured and we are still doing ok

Horrible contract even at 50% for Edmonton. Impossible retention for the Habs.

Gally at 50% is not a horrible contract.

He's easily worth 3.25M.

That’s not happening. Bouchard is a cost controlled RHD they need the next few years. Gallagher would have been fine before they signed Hyman

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Sounds like Holland is putting up the big assets. Bouchard is clearly off the table but the 2022 1st or Broberg should definitely be.

Chiarot can log big minutes for you guys right now with the injuries and he may stay on a 4-5yr deal if you get into 2nd round or beyond.

Nurse, Chiarot, Bouchard can all log 20 minutes or more going forward.

Broberg is worth more than Big Ben.. and not really interested in giving up our first but if for both Pieces .. I'm down
