We weren't so lucky. He stays as HNIC host and Hometown Hockey has been cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Kings acquire Kevin Fiala. The Kings were considered a possible landing spot for Gallagher but I think there is zero chance of that happening now. It was very doubtful before, only talked about I guess because of MB's relationship with him. The Kings continue to get better. https://www.tsn.ca/los-angeles-kings-minnesota-wild-kevin-fiala-brock-faber-1.1819156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a guy like him especially in the playoffs. He gets under a lot of players skin and Edmonton and Toronto are missing that in their line up. But with his cap hit it would have to be a 3 team trade where us and another team could eat up some of Gallagher contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I doubt Gallagher would accept a trade to the leafs, although I do not remember if he has a no trade Edmonton is more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize there has never been a trade done where there is double retention on a player for five years, right? It's not realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true … it would take a team that wants him at a reduced AAV … don’t see HuGo retaining a huge portion, but maybe $1.5-2 million … but don’t see even that happening unless BG has a a very good season next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do they have to get back to justify that? (For that much money, I think they'd be asking for a 1st rounder.) And then the facilitating team probably has to retain a similar-sized portion, meaning they'll need a similar acquisition value to do their part. For whoever's acquiring Gallagher, compensating Montreal and the facilitator team at fair value to compensate for the cash spending/dead cap will cost a whole lot more than Gallagher is actually worth. That's why these types of double-retention on long-term deals have never happened and won't anytime soon and certainly not with Gallagher.

If the Habs wanted a first-round pick for that much cumulative cash/cap retention - and they'd be justified in doing so - that's still more than Gallagher is worth.
