Gallagher's production didn't really drop until this last season.
Assuming you mean the COVID year was not last season, but the season before. He was actually on pace for a career high in goals and right in his normal 53 point range.
This past season, he produced less falling to a 35 point pace.
If you mean it started in the playoffs, before last season, sure. But no one on our team really produced except Suzuki, Toffoli (who still got chirped), Caufield, and to a lesser extent, Perry.
And if you mean the year when COVID started,19-20, Gallagher was on pace for a career high 60 points.
As much as I would love to get rid of the contract, his decline length is overblown. The injuries, however, are taking their toll.
