According to Friedman, the forward market has "cratered".
Gallagher wouldn't get that if he was UFA right now.
That's probably why they can't come to an agreement. Gallagher is looking at pre-Covid comparables and the Habs are looking at Covid deals.
Doubt Gallagher signs a long term extension with anyone this year. He will play his year out and hope the market improves.
