With sustained effort and a tally of five goals since the start of the season, Canadian veteran Brendan Gallagher has made himself very useful to the Montreal team.
While several fans and members of the media have long wanted the buyout of his expensive contract which costs $6.5 million per year until the end of the 2026-2027 season, these voices have been quieter on this subject for some time. .

“He’s someone who shows up for every match, who goes all out,” reporter and columnist Renaud Lavoie rightly pointed out on Wednesday at “JiC.”
Since April 4, Gallagher is the fourth best scorer on the team and the second scorer.
Gallagher could have been openly bitter about the criticism he received in recent years, Renaud recalled. But that’s not his style.
“No, he lets his game speak for him,” he added. When he shows up in the locker room, it’s to talk about the team and its challenges.”
“If it continues like this, we will be very happy to have him on the team,” he also indicated, even going so far as to say that eventually, people will say to themselves that his contract is not “not that bad.”
