so no bridge contract, 22 years old

Oiler special? 6x6

That would be too much - so how about 6x5

Looks like Bergevin learned something after the PK fiasco. Great deal for the Habs.

Could turn out to a be a good contract, but there's always a risk and that's why bridge deals exist. Sometimes you get a steal with one of these deals and sometimes you end up with a guy like Cody Hodgson where you're paying over $4M for the next 5 years to a player with 2 points in 23 games.

Gallagher has the heart of a lion and has skill in all the tough areas. That is unlikely to change

Cody has skill only when the cost is very low. That is unlikely to change.

Excellent signing.

Great contract. Would give "ashasx's" right nut for Monohan's next contract to be like that.

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Couple of notes, re: Gallagher. Quick negotiation, 2-3 weeks, both team and player wanted to get it done. No no-trade at any point in deal.

I think he's safe. Edmonton won't trade for a small winger anyways. They're not that stupid, are they?
