Seems like an overpay to me even with an extension in place

How about broberg out and jones in?

Not likely! 1. Gally will probably be the next captian 2. We already have a ton of middle 6 forwards 3. The 1st will most likely be a late 1st in a weak draft

I wouldn’t for oilers one prospect too many even consider not to mention gallagher is significantly overvalued by habs fans so good luck

Yeah its an overpay for a player who was on pace 3 consecutive 30 goal seasons

And needs 7+ by next season, thats if he even stays wherever he is traded

Yes he will and the Habs will move contracts in order to make sure to keep him

Why would Buffalo do that, Edmonton needs to pay them

too much for gallagher
chaisson,2021 first , Lavoie , Samo for gallagher(with extension)and brook

7+ for a guy who tops out at 50 points. I’d pass hard on that one.

I think it's a good deal. People need to understand that Gally worth more than pageau and this one pay a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. So here, Broberg and a first can be good with another part, like a 3rd. But you add Chiasson like a cap dump, so Lavoie balanced the trade. You can also switched lavoie with another B prospect.

Montreal had 11 games remaining, Gallagher had scored 22 goals at a pace of 0.37/GP which translates to 4 more goals over 11 games. He was on pace to score 26 this year.

This is way, way off. Chiasson isn't a cap dump and Lavoie isn't a B prospect.

Plus he's 28 years old and will be 29 when his extension kicks in. It'll be Zuccarello all over again.

He was also on the OR for the better part of 2 months

Operating Room? He missed 12 games, you can't add in goals he didn't score from games he missed. "Pace" means he was on-track to hit that number if the season hadn't been canceled. He was NOT "on pace (for) 3 consecutive 30 goal seasons" as you asserted.

Your right when he came back early from injury his pace dropped off. I should have said before his injury he was on pace for 30. I actually put IR but my phone autocorreted it sorry.

His value goes beyond points

(22 / 59) x 82 = 30.57

a full season he is on pace for 30 goals

NO-

If you retain on Russell to make it a 0 cap change then yes

What if Buffalo could sign Cam Talbot before trading Hutton for Russell?
I know Russell is not going to be a barn burner, but he is better than our 3rd LHD right now and Talbot is better than Hutton.
Just a thought and I welcome your input.

Im pretty sure Russell lines up on the right. Hes only better than the Sabres 3rd LD right now, because they dont have one. Sabres are taking on a cap dump for nothing in return

IDK why Russell would play RHD, could it be the Oilers only have Benning and Bear as RHD and he is forced to play his off side?
Did you answer my question "What if Buffalo could sign Cam Talbot before trading Hutton for Russell?"?
Of course we do not have a 3rd LHD, that was my point, I guess I needed to spell it out so even you would understand it was irony.
The point is we get a LHD which we only have 2 and a HUGE upgrade at GK.
We upgrade at two positions only AFTER signing Talbot.

I dont know why youre acting pissy again, i was being sarcastic, im aware you were being ironic. If they could sign Talbot great. Ill be shocked anyone wants to come to Buffalo
