Proposal: Noah Hanifin for Brendan Gallagher

[SeanMoneyHands]

Do both sides do it? Habs may need to throw in a pick just because Hanafin is on a very good cap for what he brings.

With Weegar and Kylington signed I think Hanifin is the guy who gets traded this season.

What does Gallagher bring? He's older, worse and more expensive. Like what is the rationale

 

[Miller Time]

can't say i see the flames having any interest in that... habs jump on it without hesitation as long as the pick included isn't a 1st

Calgary is in decent shape. Gallagher's durability is a question at this stage in his career. So it's an unnecessary risk. Plus it wouldn't be one for one. Value aside, there's little reason that CalGary does this.

As a neutral fan…WUT?

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Done for me for sure, buts Calgary will never do this.

Pretty sure if they trade Hanifin, it will be for someone whos not making 6.5 millions per year

 

[HighLifeMan]

What the ...

Calgary easily says no. It's not even a worthy conversation to have.

 

[MXD]

That makes sense for the Flames if the pick going the Flames way is the Habs unprotected first.

Brendan's game fits Sutter's system perfectly. Just 4 seasons ago he had back to back 30+ goal campaigns. I think he's got a lot of gas left in the tank and could get back to being a 30 goal scorer.

 

[Rubi]

Is there more than one Brendan Gallagher in the league? Or are we talking about the 30 year old fwd that scored half as many pts as dman Hanifin?

 

[BB88]

One of the worst proposals of the offseason

Sean Monahan scored 82 points 4 seasons ago. Four seasons for a player whose body is broken down might as well be two decades. It took a future 1st just to get him off the books. Gallagher’s style and size is not conducive to a sudden resurgence at age 30. Any more than Monahan is on the verge of a breakout. And he (Gallagher) is still owed a whopping $6.5 million for FIVE MORE YEARS.

Terrible. If it took a future 1st to get off Monahan it would take a helluva lot more than that for somebody to take on Gallagher’s contract. At least Monahan’s deal is off the books next summer. Gallagher has one of the worst contracts in the league.

I thought you were a flames fan.

See, I don't think that's worth the risk, especially for a top 4 d-man who puts up points. Flames already have an expensive anchor in Lucic but at least his contract comes off the books next summer.

 

[innitfam]

Hanifin has wayyyy more value

 

[ThankGord]

Hanafin is a top4 D and Gallagher is a cap dump.

 

[Double Dion]

We JUST PAID a 1st to dump a contract substantially better than Gallagher's. Now you want to trade our 24 year old top pairing defenseman FOR Gallagher? Are you insane?

Is the idea that Flames front office had way too strong an offseason, so regression to the mean, and undermining the roster/outlook, is inevitable?

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Lmao

 

[Haatley]

Flames pass hard on this. Wow.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I have yet to see a Noah Hanifin thread in which he’s properly valued lol

He had half the points Hanifin did

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Lmfao. Top 25 and 25 year old defenseman making less than 5M for a 30 year old clearly on the downswing winger making 6.5M long term?

It's highway robbery for Montreal simply just getting out of that anchor for free, let alone getting an extremely valuable asset on top of it

 

[stl76]

I like Gallagher a lot, but this is a laughably bad proposal. OP should honestly be embarrassed.

Brendan's game fits Sutter's system perfectly. Just 4 seasons ago he had back to back 30+ goal campaigns. I think he's got a lot of gas left in the tank and could get back to being a 30 goal scorer.

Ryan Ellis' game fits Sutter's system perfectly too. Just 4 seasons ago he was a top 15 defenseman in the league. I see Gallagher quickly going down the same hole as Ellis. It's unfortunate but the way they play is very taxing on the body

Too bad this thread isn't a poll. It would be closed by now.
