One playoffs his jaw was broken on a dirty hit. But again, his entire line was not effective offensively in the playoffs, and that was mainly because of the role they were given... shut down the opponents top line. I kinda think if Gallagher was put with Suzuki or KK in the playoffs, his role would be different and his production would be there. if we are in full rebuild like i suggested in the other thread, sure trade him. Trade Petry too. if we are still going for it, i have no problem keeping him. not worried about him.

I see the exposure of Price and Weber among the best moves MB has made. they are both win-win. I don’t see kraken taking Weber now. So, either he is healthy at some point and plays again, or he is done. No point in protecting him. Ditto with Price. If he’s taken by Kraken, we get out of probably 2 to 3 years of that contract that are going to be an anchor. If the Kraken are comfortable with his health issues, they take him and have a new face if the franchise. They can pick up a couple of other good goalies, so even if Price isn’t available to start the year, I think going to the Kraken may do Price good, like it did with Fleury. If he doesn’t get picked up, we still have our goalie tandem in place and hopefully his health issues get resolved. I do see the last 2 or 3 years of his deal will hurt us, the same way that Lundquist’s hurt the Rangers. Remember, the rangers went to the finals in 2014, he had one more good year after that and than the big drop off started, injuries were an issue, and he was bought out. Price is already dealing with more injuries than Lundquist did. I don’t see the Kraken signing Danault YET. I could see them signing him, if there was a situation where it looked like he was probably going back to Montreal. But Danault wants to see what he is worth on the open market. Why sign him now, when you probably overpay to sign him. Would make more sense to just try and sign him once free agency opens up for everyone.

Thanks for the great forum and everything that everyone does to by keep it going 👍

We all appreciate the hard work that goes into maintaining the forum and website humming thank you for the excellent work and dedication !

I didn't see that coming either but I like it. Either 1) they don't pick him and the Habs start the year with the best goalie tandem in the NHL or 2) they pick him, the Habs have tons of cap space and the rebuild continues.

not true, Selke nominees that can score 45-50 points and win over 55% of their faceoffs are not common
