Proposal: Brendan Gallagher to Oilers

[Chayos]

hahaha the fact that you are using ES goals just shows you have no clue what a player like Gallagher brings.

Gallagher is a top 20 ES goal scorer since 2018 ( NHL Most Even Strength Goals Since 2018 | StatMuse)

You should look at your avatar a bit more...

I think you made his case stronger by showing that Gallagher is declining. I like the guy but man thats a lot of money for a long time.

Back to Price:

Edmonton: Price at 50%

MTL-Bourgalte, 2022-1st, Koskinen.

I think for sure they could trade Gallagher, but his value has never been lower right now . I wouldn’t be a good time to move him .

Just getting rid of his contract is a win and if we get anything back bonus and for the one's that think were going to hold 50% of his contract or Price LOL easy on the juice people its not going to happen.

Not only does that trade proposal not belong in this thread it doesn't belong in any thread. Barf.

 

[Habs10025]

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

What can work

Montreal won't retain 50 % It's unlikely they'd even retain 25 % Its doubtful they want to trade Gallagher.

We were giving up Samorukov and a first for Kuemper a few months ago so this is not out of line for a better goalie.

 

[Double Dion]

Gallagher is a textbook case of the right type of forward for Edmonton to acquire, but the wrong type of contract. They need 2 middle pairing defensemen more than they need that forward though.

The contract, even at 50%, should convince you otherwise. Look at the Oilers long term cap constraints.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Big Ben would make Edmonton a lot better on defense. Gallagher would bring a lot of leadership and playoff game to this rather young team.

Broberg or Bouchard might have to be included.

 

[Cenzo_]

You know as players get older their production declines, right? I'm using ES goals because the Oilers don't need him at all on the PP when they are running at 37.8 percent.
The only thing prime with Gallagher anymore is his cap hit

Gallagher is 29 yo, you know 1 year older then RNH, maybe a bit early to put him on a wheelchair

 

[DingDongCharlie]

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

No maybe, a clear Hard No. Bouchard isn't available for a soon to be 30 year winger, even with retention.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

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.

Give it up, Broberg isn't available for a rental Chiarot. 2nd + 4th at the deadline. You want to chase a 1st at the deadline or something you might get a bite, won't be from the Oilers.

You can't be serious.

Lol I'm not a Habs fan FFS.
We'll see what he gets, could care less if EDM continues to spin their tires in the mud.

So, you do care.

 

[Stuzchuk]

maybe 1M-1.5M but 50%... not going to happen

4 years left until McDavid leaves, tick tock

 

[McRpro]

/yawn.

You just clarified what we knew, you’re a troll. Go play in your own sandbox

 

[Wayfarer13]

Does it matter if it's 5 or 8 years??? Either way no team is eating 50% of a contract of that length. But hey, good observation there!

Don't like intellectual BS. Should see me on the political boards.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Doesn't matter how bad a player is, no team retains for that long. That's just insanity.

Those are rough, but getting number one goalie covered for the next 3-4 seasons would be pretty nice though. We just need Keith to retire next season and we are set.
