Neither team does this so nobody adds. Not because its fair value though.

 

[CatchyTune]

Johnny is the best player here but im not sure losing the 2 way ability of Danault/Gallagher makes Montreal better.

I think Montreal wins this trade based on value though.

 

[Baksfamous112]

I doubt Bergevin has any appetite to trade Gallagher and Gaudreau rumored to want to go to Philly after next year isn’t helping closing the deal. I pass.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Take out Gallagher and Gaudreau...

 

[HockeyVirus]

I honestly think the Habs make out like bandits here. Danault has like 1 goal in his last 30 games. Gallagher has been living off of reputation IMO for a bit as well and isn't the player he once was. This is basically a 3rd line C and 2nd line winger for a first line winger + 3rd line C + pick.

 

[Mats26]

Forget the trade....who in the right mind would pay Gallagher 6.5 million for the next 6 years

Calgary wants nothing to do with this.

Danault looks like he will test the market, and wants a haul. Calgary is not taking on that Ghallagher contract.

For as much criticism as Gaudreau gets, he also drives the Flames offence. Without him it's rebuild time, not take on a bunch of large contracts time. Gaudreau is being packaged for a single good player in a shakeup or for futures.

Why is Calgary adding the pick here? People criticize Gaudreau for not showing up in the playoffs, but he had the same amount of points these last playoffs as Danault and Gallagher combined.

 

[Treb]

Why are the Habs trading a guy they just re-signed?

 

[HabsAddict]

Gally is not going anywhere as long as Bbinz is in charge.

Would I trade him? Absolutely. But it has to be to a team that is willing to pay extra for the heart and soul we would be losing....and bringing to his new team.

No no no no- The Rob Kerr song works here

I'd do it from Habs pov... even with the 2nd coming from Mtl to CGY instead...

big fan of Gallagher, but not sure he lives up to the recent contract extension he signed.

Gaudreau clearly best player in the deal. Only having 1 year left is a risk for montreal, but barring major injury he becomes a valuable trade chip next summer/next season if they don't think a long-term deal is do-able.

Still high on Bennett having it in him to become a top-6 player, and at worst he's a cost-controlled solid bottom-6 player who has shown to be effective late season/playoff time.

Danault is better than most outside of Montreal realize, and would be a great fit in Calgary, but will be interesting to see how his UFA summer goes... if he is still seeking the big pay day, may price himself out of Calgary as well (hence the 2nd going to Calgary imo).

I do think both teams walk away better off in the short term, slight edge Flames this year, habs next year pending Danault's UFA decision

 

[No ReGretzkys]

Hab fan here, how the hell would the flames accept this LOL. Have you seen Danault play this year? Habs are adding a prospect + pick for sure

This^

Also best user name is I've seen in awhile.

 

[glenbuis]

Montreal wouldn't make this trade.

 

[Halla]

Take out Gallagher and Gaudreau...

LOL so Bennet + high 2nd for pending UFA Danault looking for 6mil+?

nah

 

[HughesNation]

There's no way Bergevin trades Gallagher. How can I say this without getting banned? Uhm Marc has some sort of physical and emotional attirance towards Gallagher and his work ethic.

 

[CraigsList]

Gallagher isn’t going anywhere.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Gaudreau is the best player, but Gallagher/Danault > Gaudreau/Bennett

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Deal ! Send the papers. I'll walk from MTL to Calgary will Gally and Danault on my back.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

No thanks.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

God i would do anything to trade that anchor contract of gallagher

 

[Bounces R Way]

Absolutely f***ing not lol

 

[TBF1972]

honest question for habs fans.

what are exactly the protection on the gallagher contract extension? cap friendly has some mixed information. for all 6 contract years M-NTC, NMC is noted and additionally the comment 'Player submits a 6 team no trade list'. is this valid for all six contract years?
