At least with the Oilers you can count on the 6x6 special and an A on your jersey.

I might be alone in this, but I really didn't like Galiardi. I feel he went down too easily on far too many occasions. Glad to not have that on the team.

Contract is about right. He's been bouncing around a few teams now. If he can't prove that he can contribute something on a regular basis he might end up an AHL veteran/'tweener for the rest of his career.

Actually, he's probably a 'tweener right now. Wish him all the best despite having a miserable year with the Flames.

I was excited about TJ in the first game of last season when he went backhand roof. Too bad everything went downhill from there...

I think he would have had a better chance here if we didn't have so many promising bottom 6 projecting prospects ready to make the jump.

You are not alone in this. I did not like him at all last year. One poster on here said it best... "I have never seen anyone skate so hard and do absolutely nothing".

Good luck to him in Winnipeg he seems like a good person.

I meant it more as I think he's a bit of a diver, but this is true as well.

This is so true. He may as well have been doing laps out there. He worked his tail off, but just didn't have any effect on the game whatsoever.

It's interesting that a player like Galliardi, who I think is rightfully seen as not yet having
"made it" has already played 283 NHL games, which gives him a longer career than 66% of retired NHL players.

The Avenue spread with his goofy clothes was pretty entertaining.

Like Stempniak and Butler he could have made millions more if he was willing to sign for a different team.

Predicting it now, I think he'll have decent success in Winnipeg. Earn himself a bonafide-NHLer contract and then become a goat for the next couple years.

I'm glad he's getting another chance, and I'm glad it's not in Calgary.

Meh
