-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Quote Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced on Wednesday that the team has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension with forward Brendan Gallagher (until the end of the 2026-27 season). The deal has an average annual value of $6.5 million. Gallagher, 28, collected 43 points in 59 games with the Canadiens in 2019-20. His 22 goals (including 21 at even strength) ranked him first among his teammates - tied with Tomas Tatar - for a third straight season. He also added 21 helpers to reach the 40-point plateau for a third straight campaign. Gallagher skated in nine playoff games and tallied four points (1 goal, 3 assists). The alternate captain led the team this season in shots (226) and first goals (5), and ranked second with a +9 differential. In eight NHL seasons with the Canadiens, Gallagher has registered 334 points (173 goals, 161 assists) in 547 regular season games. With 173 tallies with Montreal, the Edmonton, AB native ranks 17th in goals scored in team history among wingers, and 30th among all players. Gallagher has also amassed 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) in 49 career NHL playoff games. He was selected to the All-Star Rookie Team in 2012-13. Before joining the professional ranks, the 5'9'', 181 lbs right winger played four seasons with the Vancouver Giants in the WHL (from 2008-09 to 2011-12). He concluded his junior stint with an impressive 1.15 PPG average after tallying 136 goals and 280 points in 244 regular season games. Gallagher also served 359 penalty minutes and posted a +84 differential with the Giants. He added 36 points (19 goals, 17 assists) in 42 playoff games in the WHL. Gallagher was selected in the fifth round (147th overall) by the Canadiens at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. On the international stage, he scored three goals and added as many helpers in six games at the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship with Team Canada. He also represented Canada at the 2016 World Championship where he collected two goals and five points in ten games. https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/canadiens-sign-forward-brendan-gallagher-to-a-six-year-contract-extension/c-319456122 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So that bs by Dreger that negotiations weren't going well was utter nonsense - pure speculation by media and they bought it hook-line-sinker. https://www.tsn.ca/insider-trading-brendan-gallagher-s-future-in-montreal-has-taken-a-sudden-turn-1.1538488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 That's that on the rumours of the former-Giant returning home via trade for the time being. Congrats to Gally on his new deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well that worked well for the Gallagher camp. “Try to give all my money to other players... see how that works for the fans.” Bergevin “Let me lube myself up for you!” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Welp, looks like the Canadiens also rejected the Shanaplan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Wow, that is a lot of money and duration but it works for the next few years at least. Good high energy player so may be okay long term. Is it just me or is he the forward version of Schmidt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireGillis Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Dodged a bullet there! I was afraid Benning would trade for him! I'm not a Gallagher fan at all. Edited October 14, 2020 by FireGillis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Gallagher fan at all. Yeah. Why would you want a heart and soul warrior who lives in front of the net. Pots 30 goals a year and irritates the other teams top players. Nothing there to like at all Edited October 14, 2020 by qwijibo 3 5 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckFan1123 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Montreal is going to be in cap hell in a couple years with these long term deals, but that’s going to be one of the eastern conference favorites next year with the moves they’ve made. Good job to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
