A concussion? Taking a beating, but always getting back up? He's faced it, and overcome it.

agreed my friend
what the f , we waited 20 years for a #1 center , he delivers and was hands down our best skilled forward last year in limited miniutes and now he has to play second fiddle again to dd and other midgets who have no future with this team
I can understand if there was a legit #1 ahead of him , Pleks is fine but he is no Galchy in the talent department
this is comical , all I hear is he isnt ready , give me a fng break , if rail thin RNH can play center from day one , Galchy at 205 is ready to go next year
dude will be a superstar , finallly for f sakes after 20 years or so , we finally have a star upfront and we are going to hold him back for who dd, Briere ,
most of our forwards cant carry his jock strap , DD with #1 linemates and first wave of pp time played like CRAP last year , couldnt generate offence to save his life , how the hell can Glachy be worse , cmon

He played behind Lemaire, Cournoyer and the Mahovlich bros however, not Plekanec, Pacioretty, Gionta and Desharnais.

Hi,
I know there's not a lot of chances to see that happening next season, but COULD he still make it with the right ice time and teammates?
We often talk about Chuckie being an elite player and future franchise cen... and blablabla... so that means he should be able to play more 17 minutes per game at 19/20 years old.
Assuming Desharnais sucks, Eller is injured and Pleckanec plays well with Bourque and Briere, I'm sure Galchenyuk would be the heart and soul of a line with Pacioretty & Gallagher.
I would easily see this:
Pacioretty: 35 goals, 30 assists, 65 pts
Galchenyuk: 25 goals, 45 assists, 70 pts
Gallagher: 25 goals, 25 assists, 50 pts
Galchenyuk played over 100 games in 2012-2013, but most of those games were as a 3rd line winger.
He will be able to play 90 ish games (with playoffs) on a 2nd line in 2013-14.
Keep in mind, we are talking about a player potentialy drafted first overall and remember before the start of the 2013 season, most of us were believing Pacioretty-Desharnais-Cole would still be our first line.
It sure would be nice to see Galchenyuk put up 70pts. As we sit, his potential line mates are Eller, Prust, Briere and Gionta I guess. Looks like he's gonna start the year playing left wing. Unless DD switch to the left side, Galchenyuk won't center a line. Just a question, anyone here ever though about Plekanec playing the wing/center?
Besides, lines changes often in a games.
5/5 lines?
Plekanec-Eller-Gionta
Max-Glachenyuk-Gallagher
Bourque-DD-Briere
Moen-Prust-White

I hope gally has a good year next year, I never though he was the same after Cole left. I hope they put him with Briere.
What? Did he ever even play with Cole?
Besides, his best player came towards the end of the year.

Team leader in points next year? Subban 
or
Patches.
Patches will keep shooting the puck 10 time a game and get 1 assist a game. He wont pass, he wont think, he will shoot, thats all he do, all he can do, all he will do, all i expect him to do.

I'm talking about scoring slumps and opponents adjusting to his game. Galchenyuk had more of it.
The fact Gallagher goes in front of the net is overstated because he's smaller too, but Galchenyuk, for a 18 years old green rookie, scored a WHOLE LOT of his goals 5-6 feet away from the crease, too.

I couldn't understand MT's use of him in the playoffs. He was the best player on the ice for us and then he'd get benched...
Cool that he led us in even strength points too... again though, why no PP time?
That's part of the reason why the Briere signing pissed me off so much, Gally will have to fight another guy who isn't part of our future for PP time.
Really elite players lead their teams from day one or their second season. Yzerman was an 87 point player as a rookie and Sakic led from his second season on...
Not saying Gally has to do that this year to be elite but it's certainly possible with elite players.
Don't know about that (though I totally agree about it being stupid that he's stuck behind players with inferior talent and potential on the PP) but he has more talent and potential than any forward we've had since... well, since Lafleur.agreed my friend

This team hasn't had a true elite forward since number 10 skated with his hair flowing down the right wing. I know that seems crazy to say but it's true. We've had good forwards Naslund (our last top ten scorer), Richer, Smith, Turgeon, Kovalev... but really nobody who could be said to be a true superstar.
I hope it happens but I'm not expecting it. If he gives us 30 goals and 80-90 points a year I will be ecstatic. If he could get to 100 points that would be beyond anything I could hope for. It will be fun watching him develop over the coming seasons. I just wish we could've paired him with a power forward this year. He, Max and Gallagher would be interesting but they may want to have Prust fill that role so that Max can play with DD. Because if Max doesn't play with DD I think DD becomes really, really useless.
If he gets to fight for PP time vs Brière, that's very good news. PP time should be based on performance. I'm afraid the PP time will be automatically given to Brière (and Gionta, and DD...).

He was our leading even strength point producer last year... you'd think it would've warranted more PP time for him. It didn't....
I'm afraid you're right.
Did your opinion change?
After 21 games:
4 goals - 11 assists - 15 points
Habs leading foward in points, only 2 points behind Subban.
I'm asking the same question:
Could Alex Galchenyuk be the Habs leading scorer this year?

It's fully possible. In hindsight, the only forward that was probable to get more points than him was Patches, but that's not happening right now. He'll probably finish top 3 behind Subban and Gallagher.
Most of his points have come from his insane chemistry with Gallagher. Well Gallagher is now serving time as a spark plug for the 2 slumpers, which will hurt Galchenyuk's performance.
