What did they say about Gallagher the day before he signed?

I never heard that Gally refuse any offer!! MTL make good offer at 5Mx6Years, but Danault refused and didn't make any counter offer...

For all you know, his agent dragged the negotiation as he should. It's not like he's refusing to sign -- he's still got a year on the contract and just recently made a name for himself as capable of playing top line centre...

Ils ont tout de même affirmé que Gallagher et le CH étaient très loin d'une entente. Ce n'est qu'une stratégie de négociation à mon humble avis.

They would probably want a better prospect, especially since Danault doesnt come with an extension

Read the trade description... Danault comes with an extension and Norlinder isnt getting trade. Its Harris or Struble

I woud't give up all that for Dubois. Norlinder is the next Romanov. Our future top pairing is going to be Romanov and Norlinder.

Danault will eventually sign for 5 x 4.5M ich.

Why move your family and change teams for 500k more a season. Makes no sense. He's comfortable here, he has a role here. Why risk all that especially with a flat cap situation.

He probably knows this offer will stand, so that would be the minimal offer.

He can only get more if we plays well. Brunet's sources also said he didnt mind a more defensive role unlike what he said this summer. He could trully be signed in a couple of weeks at 5-5.25m
