Player Discussion Brendan Gallagher

[Habs Halifax]

With the huge raise of the salary cap, could we have his contract buyout? It could be perfect time I think

Yes, we can easily do that if we want to. However, you usually buy out players when you need the cap space.

You also do it when the player is nowhere near giving what the salary is warranting. Not having Gallagher on the team and being obligated to play him because of his contract is worth more than the salary cap space.
