Brendan Gallagher’s agent confirms talks with the Canucks

We know that on the Canucks' side, the interest is easy to understand.

The team is looking to add character and experience to its roster after a disappointing season. Gallagher could provide a significant presence within the top-9 offense or in a supporting role, while serving as a role model for the organization's younger players.

Of course, several obstacles remain in the negotiations. The terms of a potential trade would have to satisfy both the Canadiens AND the Canucks… and that's far from a done deal.

But Kent Hughes has shown that he wants to treat his veteran with respect and offer him a destination that suits him. And that's what makes Vancouver an attractive option for Gallagher. 

One thing is certain: when a player's agent publicly confirms a team's interest, it becomes hard to ignore the rumors.

And that's when you realize that the Gallagher-Vancouver situation will certainly be one to watch closely over the next few days…

In a nutshell

– But with what we learned this morning…

– It happens.

– Oh boy.
