We just went through that sort of thing. Even if Gallant isn't as grumpy as Sutter, it just sounds like a terrible idea.
I will say this about Gallant though, his teams really do seem to spread scoring through the lines. That's not a bad thing and shows that he probably has a good feel for chemistry, but getting a stubborn coach that butted heads with the GM in his last few gigs probably isn't a great choice for a rookie GM to bring on.

His teams all win too. Not sure if that still matters these days?
