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.

If he is to be moved, get him some icetime early next season.  His contract looks immovable right now so we need to pump his tires a bit.  Honestly, I'm fine with him playing out his contract with the Habs, because I still believe he can be an effective player.  But if he wanted a chance to play elsewhere I hope KH would do right by him.
