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.

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.

Exactly. One thing every top team have in common is they don't have one bad contract. I mean, yes, They have a lot of hugh contract, but they don't have players grossly overpaid vs what they brings on the table. Wich Gallagher is maybe overpay by 4 millions. I don't see a player in Florida or Winnpeg ovetpaid by 4 millions over

To clear his spot. He's one of the worst players in the league. Looks completely done, can't even make simple plays anymore. Of course you don't do it if you don't plan on filling his spot with something useful.

Gallagher: 20 pts in 52 games -10
Dach: 19 pts in 52 games -27
Anderson: 18 pts in 52 games -9
Dvorak: 16 pts in 52 games -12
Newhook: 14 pts in 52 games -14

I don't think looking at points show why Gally is worst than those. I mean. Anderson bring speed, physicality, play on PK, but yes, he is overpaid. Still, I prefer Anderson for those reason

Dach bring some physicallity and playmaking, still young

Newhook bring speed, I think someday he could become useful on PK like Anderson.

Gally and Dvorak are just liability. Dvorak brings faceoff, gally energy. Thats it, so thats expensive 6,5 and 4,5 for those element

Gallagher put up most of his points in the first 25 games before he ran out of gas.

That is some putrid production from the so called leaders.

We are stuck with Gally for one more year and can only pray for a miracle after that (LTIR). We got 1st for taking 1 year of Monahan 6M. There is no way we get rid of him in a trade even if we retain, he is so bad.
Hopefully they use him as 13th fwd next year.

Caproom not an issue with Habs. Could buy him out or keep him 13th forward. Probably buy Gallagher out. 1.75m penalty next year but his caphit is 6.5m. So Montreal gains 4.75m in caproom. The following year we only gain 2.1m in caproom but it is 2 1 still.

Hey how about this: all five are bad and should be churned through at the earliest opportunity.

Unfortunately we have too much roster turnover coming up this summer so some of these underperformers and underachievers will stick around like barnacle.
