So sorry to hear. News like that puts everything into perspective. We all wish your brother well.
Speculation: What’s the future hold for Brendan Gallagher ?

He's owed too much real money for that cheap franchise.

He played very well at the beginning of the season. He's been fairly ineffective/not noticeable since.
It's going to be a tough watching this contract expire.

That totally sucks.
I've never heard of a good outcome for patients with Glioblastoma.
My heart is with you man.
You are right. After next season, Molson should offer him to retire and offer him a job in the organisation at the buyout salary for two years. Same cost for Molson without salary cap hit and Gallagher will not have to become the official "whipping boy "...
Best of luck man..............sending positive thoughts your way.
So sorry you and your family are going through this...

I would assume they wouldn't buyout Gallagher this summer. Perhaps they hope he can stay healthy and if he can be around this then his last 2 years he's owed 10.5M total but the last year is at 4M, so at 50% his cap hit would be 3.25M and in 2 years the cap is expected to be much higher.
As a 4th liner for a playoff team I think if the Habs take back a bad contract, if he can stay healthy and have somewhat decent production that maybe he could have some value to a team.

It's looking less likely that it will be LTIR. So perhaps a buyout. Or maybe he at some point he can be traded 50% retained and we take back a bad contract. I don't think any team wants him even at 50% of his cap hit, i.e. 3.25M.

That contract isn’t getting moved under any circumstances, whether he’s playing well or not. Nobody’s taking that on unless it was an Arizona deal where we pay them to take him.

There not buying gallagher out, not at least until 2025-2026 at the earliest and even then they may try to carry him until his last season they'll only face a 1.3M penalty for the last 1 years. right now we don't need the cap as the young guy contracts are still to come so no rush at this point.
And I still think he's on Robidas island before that point

He’s still healthy enough to play a full season if we’re going off this year which is a problem for people like myself who were relying on Robidas Island.
