CaptWelly Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I believe if he stays healthy he will have a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 10 5-on-5 possession production, better than Pacioretty, Forsberg, Matthews, Malkin, McDavid, Kucherov, Panarin, Oshie, Rick Nash, Ovechkin, Parise, Draisaitl, and Kessel. Better 5-on-5 defence than Thornton, Getzlaf, Hossa, Toews, and Kesler. Similar 5-on-5 primary point production as Ovechkin, Nash, Parise, Marchessault, Domi, and better than Kessel, Burakovsky, and Krejci. All with a nearly flat PDO and an on-ice 5-on-5 shooting percentage nearly a third of a standard deviation below the mean. I mean, if this is as good as it gets... aw shucks? There's this narrative that Gallgher has taken some massive setback, and it's just not supported by reality. His 5-on-5 primary point production has been right around one standard deviation above the league mean for forwards with at least 250 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time for the last 3 seasons. His 5-on-5 possession has been improving, though, and his on-ice shooting percentage is stabilizing. Since 2013 among forwards with at least 1,000 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time, he's 91st for 5-on-5 primary point production, 47th for 5-on-5 CF%, and 6th in 5-on-5 shot event production—that's Bergeron and Thornton territory, with a roughly average on-ice 5-on-5 shooting percentage. And most of that under one of the worst coaches of the last decade! Raw all situations base totals are seriously not a friend when trying to assess NHL players.

ramcharger440 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 OK so all that is nice. he is here to score goals yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs_93 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 He's here to produce primary points. Which, as I detailed above, he does. Raw all situation point and goal totals are not illuminating in general, but particularly not on a team with a power play as historically terrible as ours has been for a while.

maas_art Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 That hand injury really hurt him last year. He said in an interview that for several months after coming back he couldnt grip his stick properly. Imagine trying to take shots if you cant hold your stick! I think he's going to have a very good year. I wish he was reunited with chucky though. They both play better when together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudNuij Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 stats can be deceiving, our newly bought Washington defenseman has a plus 23 rating, but he also comes from a team that has not been shy of scoring .. so obviously he will be in the plus. as seen here, Gallagher has great stats, .. but I must agree with those in doubt, .. how good is Montreal really going to be?

What he's getting at is Gallagher produces points at an elite rate at even strength and just doesn't get much PP time to pad his stats. If he were getting most of his points on the PP I'd be worried about his raw production, but there's literally a handful of guys on the planet that produce even strength points/shots like Gallagher does.

maas_art Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think most of us expect a big rebound season from Gallagher - Travis Yost explains why, assuming he stays healthy, its all but a given he'll be back to his old scoring numbers this year. I think, actually, if that first line stays in tact, he may have career numbers . http://www.tsn.ca/talent/bet-on-gallagher-having-a-rebound-season-1.876354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabsRuleForever Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think he will have a bounce back year, for sure, to some extent. I just hope that he's able to avoid shots from the point when he's in front of the opposing net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 So much talk about trading Galchenyuk... have we considered a potential return for Gallagher? He seems like the type of player who would be over-rated by other GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hand is wreckage, he cant shoot or deke anymore. He is too small to keep up the grind of playing his crash the net game, and honestly its already gotten exponentially more ineffective to my eye test. it actually hurts me to say this, but going back to last year id have to say I see pretty much nothing from him and I think hes wasting a spot in the top 6. if we could turn him into ...anything really, id be happy to do it.

I have no idea if he will ever score 24 goals again (I suspect he might not), but I do believe other GMs might still value him. He's someone I would consider shopping to see what the potential return is. Trading him alone is not going to fix our defensive problems, but he has the potential to be part of a package.

Everyone knows he is a shadow of a player he once was, his hands are crushed and he will never be the same. One must admire his spirit, but unfortunately it's not enough.
