At the beginning of the summer, a rumor surfaced about a possible trade involving veteran Brendan Gallagher, but new information released by Renaud Lavoie has clarified the situation.
Earlier in the offseason, Gallagher's name had been linked to trade rumors, and according to some sources, the Canadiens had made him available on the market.
Unsurprisingly, this information sparked a huge reaction among fans - and with good reason. Gallagher remains a respected figure in the locker room and a player whose attitude has been flawless for over 10 years now.
Renaud Lavoie reacts and defends Brendan Gallagher against trade rumors
This morning, on BPM Sports, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports wanted to set the record straight.
The journalist was categorical: the Canadiens never had any intention of moving on from their veteran.
"In no way do the Canadiens want to part with Brendan Gallagher. The organization's respect for this guy is very, very high."
As also explained in an article from DansLesCoulisses, some NHL teams may still be monitoring his situation, but on the Canadiens' side, the intention is clear: he's part of the plan.
Honestly, I believe this kind of clarification was necessary. When a rumor gains traction, we all know what can happen in Montreal..
I truly believe that Gally is the heart of the Canadiens - his energy and attitude fuel the soul of the team.
And personally, I think that even if his contract is heavy, Gallagher's impact in the locker room remains irreplaceable.
