Where would B Gallagher slot in as a winger on your team?

[koyvoo]

B. Gallagher is a heart and soul never say die bulldog as weep as being a skilled scorer. B. Gallagher is a top 10 RW. B. Gallagher would be the top RW on most teams in the league. B. Gallagher is a future Conn Smythe trophy winner.

3rd - below Marchand and Pastrank.

He's clearly a 1st line winger - we just happen to have 2 of the best wingers in the league.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

This sounds wrong, but I'm tempted to say 5th.

after..... Roslovic and Ehlers.... ?

Wheeler/Ehlers/Connor/Laine, although Gallagher would be in the mix somewhere

What ranking of those would you suggest (genuinely curious)?

 

[Crabapple]

I'm not going to count Drai as a winger since him and McDavid kinda share duties, but Gally would be our best winger.

Probably your number 1 until Laine proves to be consistent over a full season. Wheeler is also very close, but this season he's regressed (he's 33!). Connor, as good as he is, does not bring the intangibles Gallagher brings in every single game. Gallagher's level of compete is second to none. And Gallagher does all this playing with 3rd liners (whose stats are ridiculously boosted thanks to Gallagher) - seriously go take a look to see who he plays with. Also, the reason I put that laugh emoji is because there's no way anyone could think Ehlers is better than Gallagher in any way.

There's a reason Montreal is playing as well as they are, and Gallagher is a huge part of that reason. Take off Gallagher and Habs are in trouble.

Fair enough, I could see arguments for Gallagher over Laine or Connor currently (although both have career highs better than Gallagher). Wheeler has started slow although with your same argument for putting Laine low, it's much too soon to put Gallagher over Wheeler (coming off a 91 point season). It's interesting that you singled out Ehlers as he's been arguably the best Jet this season (except maybe Hellebuyck) - he's definitely back after a down year.

I agree about Wheeler coming off a 91p season He was the only one I'd put above Gallagher, since he's also an excellent playmaker. But his age and slow start is enough for me to perhaps put Gallagher ahead.

Gallagher is 30g+, 50p+ player. He'll never be much more than that (although he's on track for his first 60+ point season this year). It's how he improves everyone around him (Danault, a third line center, is on pace for 60+ points this year, after ending his season last year with 53 points; Tatar, who was supposed to be a cap dump, is PPG this year, after ending his season last year with a career-high 58 points). Take off Gallagher, and Danault would never be more than a 40 point player, and Tatar, a cap dump, would not reach those high numbers. He's that valuable a player - gives his 110% each and every night and pushes his linemates to be the very best they can be, while getting under the skin of the opposing teams.

 

[ole ole]

I see someone thinks he'd be the 8th best winger on the Leafs.What a LAFF.

 

[Just Linda]

I think he would be the best winger on my team. I feel pretty confident saying that since he is in fact the best winger on my team.

 

[abo9]

He'd slot #1 on the Habs

 

[TheNorthStars]

2nd on Stars
3rd on Leafs

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I put him as 3rd on the Canes behind TT and Svech. It’s a small sample size for Svech but in 20 games this year he is an absolute force out there and over a ppg. TT is playing at a ppg pace as well and coming off 64 and 76 point seasons. Both are younger than Gallagher so they should only improve from there. I’d have no problem having Gally on our top line though.

 

[Gravity]

2nd on Stars
3rd on Leafs

Marner yes but which other winger on the Leafs would take over Gallagher? Please don't say Nylander.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

He'd be 3rd behind Huberdeau and Dadonov for the Panthers.

 

[valet]

3rd

Skinner
Reinhart
Gallagher

 

[BostonBruins11]

I think he's a better player than Boeser right now. Boeser is more naturally talented, but he hasn't shown the same game breaking ability he did in his rookie year, especially with his shot on the PP, and Gallagher is a better 5v5 producer and play driver, and despite his hot start, I think Gallagher is clearly better than Miller as well. So I'd say #1, but he'd likely play on the 2nd line with Horvat

He'd be a top 3 winger on all but a couple teams in the league so either there's a lot of fans of those teams voting outside of the top 3 or he's pretty underrated around here. Like there's Boston, Hawks and Canes fans voting 4, which is ridiculous

I put him 3rd on Boston behind Marchand and Pastrnak, but Debrusk could make a case for being 3rd best if he keeps on developping. As of right now I have Gallagher "slightly" ahead of Debrusk, ironically they have similar styles of hockey.

 

[Plante]

He'd be 3rd behind Huberdeau and Dadonov for the Panthers.

Dadanov? You're dreamin bud

 

[biturbo19]

2nd or 3rd best winger. Clearly behind Boeser on the RW though, which is the truly relevant question.

 

[biturbo19]

Dadanov? You're dreamin bud

Have you not uh...seen Dadonov since he returned to the NHL? Are you thinking of the Dadonov who left for Russia many years ago? He's quite a bit better now. He's actually extremely good.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Dadanov? You're dreamin bud

I'm sure you'll tell me why I'm dreaming?

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Man, this thread is enlightening. Some people really don't understand how good and important Gallagher is.

 

[dukeofjive]

3rd behind Marchand and Pastrnak.

Oh my Lord could you imagine a team, or line, with Marchand and Gallagher on it? The amount of pest...

Add domi to that.
