Player Discussion Alex Galchenyuk

[Mickey the mouse]

As much as I don't care for Galchenyuk playing on my favorite hockey team. I do hope that Guerin had already had a discussion with Galchenyuk about his future with the Wild before giving his number to Bjugstad.

I would hope so also but if I had to guess Guerin probably said something like " we're going to offer you X,dollars / X years take it or leave it " and Chucky left it and is going to test UFA

 

[thestonedkoala]

Huh, interesting. Found out that Chucky was in rehab a few years ago.

 

[DANOZ28]

i wouldn't hold that against anyone.

Me either at all, but it does make me wonder.

 

[DANOZ28]

i still think he would be a better choice to play along side kaprizov than bjugstad.

Same here, and I hate Mario Trembley. He's the one that leaked the story.

Who says Bjugstad is going to be the one to play alongside Kaprizov?

Absolutely agree. That would not be a great way to swoon over potential FA's by effectively ghosting them worse than a Tinder date

hello, with bjugstad i doubt we're re-signing galchenyuk. that leaves staal ; bjugstad ; jee; sturm & rask then possible kunin. our lines have not stayed consistent all season long have they? its very likely if bjugstad's playing he'll get time with kaprizov.

Nope. He's playing with Lundell or Cirelli.

Kaprizov is better off with Bjugstad than Lundell next season, if Lundell is even taken

Possible. I'm not big on Bjugstad right away. First hand knowledge, that surgery takes time to come back from, especially with his size. Took 9 months just to walk a straight line.

Looks like the surgery was in May, so he'll be on track to at least handle straight lines by December

Confirming what we already knew...

Chucky is apparently gone;

Zuccarello finally got rid of that monkey on his back.

It was like 20 games dude

I’d probably have Galchenyuk over Zucc if we could choose to cut one.

Just a brutal take

Fine keep the 6 mil NMC. Gally is way cheaper and easier to move.

Because he isn't an NHL player

He is definitely going to be in the NHL next year. I’d be shocked if he isn’t.

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Good decision to let Galchenyuk go guys. He's a complete side-show. In Montreal, he was involved in a minor car crash in the middle of the night, there were stories of his girlfriend breaking in in Devante Smith-Pelly's apartment to beat the living shit out of him for some reason at like 5am... His father is taking WAY too much space in his life and gets involved in his career (tells him not to listen to the coaches and whatnot)... He's just a player you want to avoid at all costs. HIGH maintenance player.
