[Speculation] Alex Galchenyuk to test free agency

Agreed. Could possibly see him returning to MTL on a 1 year, esp. if Domi is moved

The Montreal/Galchenyuk relationship ended on a sour note.  He still thinks he’s a C and he won’t get a whiff of playing C in Montreal. I don’t see either party having any appetite to revisit. Especially if Julien is still coach

They gave his number away when they traded for Bjugstad.  Would think Galchenyuk was informed beforehand as that would be a bit cold to learn over twitter that his number has been attributed.

 

Koivu was told he would not return per Russo.  Guerin is not making an announcement because it's up to Koivu to decide what he wants to do with his future and make the announcement on his terms.  They are more than willing to offer him a job in Minnesota or scouting in Finland.  Koivu hinted at possibly playing back home to finish his career.

we need better players than that, champs

Chucky has elite offensive tools and hasn't been able to put it together consistently (although his last couple of years in MTL were pretty good). Our development team is strong and we've had good reclamation projects. Wouldn't be the worst thing to try at a low risk price.

I agree, if JB moves out some F to make room for him. 1 year show me type contract low risk type of transaction. I would like to see us try to create a more balanced PP and have some better options for PP unit 2

that right there should say enough

 

if hes not better than line 1 (JT Miler) and he's on par with line two (Tanner Pearson) then why on earth would we put him on line 3? We need heart and soul guys there with offensive skills, not guys with offensive skills that are streaky (ie Virt)

he might work out well for someone next year, he'll be very motivated. Not us tho. 

Out of respect I won't confuse you, but this is a silly statement.

He didn't put it together with motivation when given the chance in Arizona

He didn't put it together with motivation when given the chance in Pittsburgh

He didn't put it together with motivation when given the chance in Minnesota

 

Silly to believe that all of a sudden he will work out well (:blink:)

Right now we have Roussel there and I wouldn't mind Chucky over him. If we can find someone better, then sure.

were we watching the same games?

 

More nights than not, Roussel was our heaviest forechecker outside the 1st line. If we had more hustle down there to capitalize on his efforts then we would be better off

Having Galchenyuk in that game 7 of ours would have made no difference

Having Kiviranta tho lmao
