Ghostsof1915 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I like Gallagher, but not at that cap hit. Dickinson and Poolman for Edmundson, sure. But Montreal won't want that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have him, but I'm guessing the cost will be too high. Just look at what Montreal got for Chiarot last year. Something around him for Pearson+ would be interesting, cap could work. But dollars to donuts I likely wouldn't be interested in giving up what the + would be. Pearson wouldn't be the main piece and they'd likely just flip him anyway. We don't have much in the system and I'm adamantly against giving up 1st and 2nd round picks for at least a few years. There's a lot to like about him but I still think it's too early to be pushing chips in. 4 hours ago, gurn said: This part would HAVE to be looked at, very seriously. This team has already had it's share of back injured D men. Buyer beware. I forgot about his injury, that's definitely a bit of a red flag.

Hairy Kneel Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Gallagher was worth more 2 years ago. Not as much today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 4 hours ago, JM_ said: but why? what role does he fill that we don't already have? More speed, more aggression… we don’t have enough of that and that is the style of team they have said they want to build. He is an upgrade, and at the fairly minimal cost with 50% retained a pretty safe risk. I would be VERY interested to see the effectiveness of a Gallagher-Horvat-Mikheyev line. A ton of speed, great forechecking, the ability to defend and provide offence. That would be an elite match up line. Opposing players couldn’t cheat and would always have to be aware of the two fast wingers being sprung and taking the puck the other way. If that line could basically keep top opposing lines to a draw… our other two top lines would feast against lesser matchups. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get this. He is a stay at home guy who was a +28 on Montreal a season ago and was their staunchest defender in the regular season and kicked it up a notch as their top guy in a long playoff run. His uneven defensive play is pretty far in the rear mirror when he was younger. The concern would be injury recovery, not his profile as a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too thought Edmunson was great during that playoff run. Question is…can he play on the R side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the side he played on in Carolina. “Throughout my career, I have always seem to be one of the guys that can play on my off-hand side. I feel like I can hit a one-timer pretty well, and it’s worked out. I feel comfortable on either side, obviously more comfortable on my left hand side, but I can always hop around, it’s not a big deal to me.” Edited September 15, 2022 by Provost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does it make any sense for Mtl to trade away a couple vets so younger guys can get more playing time and expect them to take back a guy like Poolman and/or Dickinson/Pearson as was suggested earlier (not by you).
