He was fantastic for an 18 years old player, but it was never an environment for him to grow in.While in hindsight he should have been in Liiga or the AHL at 18, the forgotten truth is that he legitimately made the team. The guy was fantastic in camp and preseason that year and looked great to start the year.
I think a big issue for him has been all the weight gaining and subsequent cardio fallout. Just has a hard time maintaining pace at 200+ though I imagine that will change as he gets used to it, plus the condensed schedule didn’t help things. I think next year can legitimately be the breakout year assuming he stays the same weight and the schedule returns to normal.
Gallagher was really good in his first camp too, everyone wanted him on the team. Good thing he didnt make it and got to score 50 in vancouver instead.
