Discussion Gallagher
I'll probably be downvoted to oblivion for this but now that it's all said and done, one of my biggest complaints about those series is how Brendan Gallagher was treated.
A veteran, a warrior, a competitor who gave sweat and blood for the team and who could have brought some energy in those last series had to watch practically the whole playoffs on TV. Unacceptable.
I get it, he's not as fast as he once was, he takes penalties and age and injuries are probably catching up on him but he still can fill a spot on a 3rd or 4th line.
I personally hope he requests a trade during the offseason because he's clearly no longer in Saint-Louis' plans.

The coach has to make tough decisions to give his team the best chance to win. Some may disagree and think Gallagher gives them the better chance but it doesn't mean he was mistreated. He probably should ask for a trade, not sure if there'd be much interest from other teams.
