Confirmed with Link: Gallagher signs 6 years x 6.5M AAV

[Roadhouse]

I'm just hoping he comes back healthier than he seemed to be in the playoffs. Oh well, time to get fired up Gally. Same timeline as Anderson, you guys will be UFA at the same time.

 

[Gustave]

Welp hahahaha this is settled.

My impressions; too long. 2 years too long.

 

[Kwikwi]

500k too much 1 year too much...

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Happy for Gallagher..........not sure how I feel about the length though.

that will be for the next GM to worry about

 

[Habricot]

Good signing ... I wonder if there is a NMC ..

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

6.5 mill is just right. I would have done 4 years though maybe 5.

Regardless, this guy will be an effective 3rd liner the last 2 years of the deal.

 

[Dirby Kach]

now Tatar and Danault are like lets gooooo

 

[JackZap]

TSN crying about all the clicks they just lost

 

[Habsfan18]

AAV is fine. Term is 2 years longer than I would have given. I can’t see Gallagher being effective for too much longer. The deal may look awful 3 years from now.

Going back to this thread. $6.01-$6.5 million got the most votes for AAV and 6 years got the second most votes (after 5) for term:

Prediction poll: How much AAV & how many years will Gallagher sign for? Select your choice for each.

 

[Habaneros]

So it looks like BGALLY started by asking for around 7.5 million........settled for 6.5 ....

 

[McGees]

500k too much 1 year too much...

MTL tax

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Tatar is unfortunately a casualty. But Toffoli will slide over to that spot after next season.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

So Tatar is as good as gone. Hopefully traded for good assets.

After next season we looking at this baring any changes:

Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Toffoli - Danault - Gally

 

[llamateizer]

500k too much 1 year too much...

With the current cap space yes. But the cap should increase . So the 500K will be resorbed

thank god we don't need to hear anymore virtanen for Gallagher proposal

 

[le_sean]

Gally is the guy where after he retires and there’s a ceremony at the Bell Centre, he’ll get the longest ovation. It’ll be great to see.

 

[Kriss E]

Guess he didn't settle for any home discounts. 6-7M is what I expected he'd get from free agency, just posted this like 1h ago.
We gave him a pretty long term, I would have expected the cap to be lower for 6 years.

 

[dm1371]

Good. Now we can close the Gallagher to Vancouver thread (it was unbearable)

 

[Mrb1p]

Wow oki then

 

[Habaneros]

thank god we don't need to hear anymore virtanen for Gallagher proposal

my proposals was for Horvat and Stakmos...i didnt give him away..lol= If he was going , i wanted full value ..lol

 

[Kriss E]

Gally is the guy where after he retires and there’s a ceremony at the Bell Centre, he’ll get the longest ovation. It’ll be great to see.

I don't think so. If we win a few cups while he's still effective and around, perhaps. Doubt he beats out Koivu's return from cancer Ovation.

that will be for the next GM to worry about

I have this weird feeling Bergevin will be here past Gallagher's contract.
