Player Discussion Brendan Gallagher: Workin' Hard for His Money

[Big Empty]

It’s no surprise his numbers looked bad when stapled to Danault.

If PD starts to pick it up, then Gally’s numbers will look like the usual 30+20 pace he’s on every year.

I actually just looked into it and he’s already back on pace for his usual numbers. Good to see.

I don’t understand how Gallagher is playing. Really often, when he lost the puck. He always put his stick between oponnent legs. He really seem to be angry about his lack of speed and dont want to see him leave with the puck. And after. He thinks he doesnt deserve a penalty.

Gallagher has always played like this

Gallagher is not talented enough for that... He's a soon to be overpaid player.

What could’ve been quality trade bait

Can't really shit on him for his play,but that extension is a bit of a concern.

It does pretty much sums the guy up doesn't it ?

Some fantastic hot takes in this thread. Just like every year.

30 goal pace every year but he’s “declining”

Yep, still got it and he's still a key player on the team.

Let's talk again in 3 years time when we're still on the hook for that $6.5m.

I as much as many do anticipate his production to reduce over years due to his style of play

however the guy is a ****ing junk yard dog on a leash every shift and is a workout warrior.

If he can keep scoring and playing well with whoever is his C, then god damn he is worth a lot to this team as a secondary scorer behind KK, Suzuki, Andy, Toffoli and Caufield moving forward and he is most likely our next Captain

The fact that he's been into fitness froma. Young age bodes well for his longevity though.

I would bet he'll decline. But there is a chance he'll still be good at the end if his contract. The NHL is a much less physically grueling league without all the hooking, holding, late hits, touch icing, and fighting.

Cross checks to the back, shoulders, face etc around the blue paint every game night are still part & parcel of the game though. As they should be.

Hate the contract, love the player.

Definitely considering his play style, but any long term contract that extends to a players mid-30s season should be a bit of concern, regardless of play-style.

No argument here, but there's a certain group of posters that is declaring Gallagher's demise every season for three years now.

Not many would do this for their team.

a la Gallagher !

Not sure why you’d want the guy to fail. If there’s anyone that deserves his money it’s Gallagher. Guy is a warrior, a model of consistency and we don’t appreciate him enough as a fan base. Happy he’s here and signed.

 

[HeussLenfoire]

I’m totally OK with the fact of rewarding a player who risks everything for the team on every single shift by adding one or two years to his contract.

Like how soon??
