yave1964 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Wow that didnt take long. Toronto has been rumored to be ISO a middle six winger, have traded Yegor Korshkov and AHL defender David Warsofsky to the Hurricanes for Galchenyuk. Seven teams in three years. Starting to wonder which sweater he will wear for his HOF ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the Leafs do somehow, someway, by some long shot MIRACLE, happen to win the Cup this year, with Galchenyuk on it, he likely wears the blue n white leaf....even if he was only on the team for 10 minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordsOfWisdom Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hmm. Interesting move. We gave up nothing. May have got the same in return. I remember Galchenyuk being a factor on the Habs a few years ago. He was noticeable then. Not sure why he declined and seemingly vanished right in the prime of his career.

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Now...the question, I think, becomes... Will Galchenyuk arrive at his new team before the season ends??? I mean...he plays in Ottawa, has to cross the border, has to get quarantined, vaccinated, and spayed before he crosses into the US to Carolina. NOW, he has to repeat the process (double spayed...ouch) to cross the border AGAIN, to join the Leafs??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Galchenyuk being a factor on the Habs a few years ago. He was noticeable then. Not sure why he declined and seemingly vanished right in the prime of his career. I defended him a lot back in his Montreal days. For Selfish reasons. He was on my fantasy team. I screamed and hollered at Therrien for playing Plekanec and 5 foot 2 Desharnais as 1st and 2nd line C. I could not understand why. Desharnais has some kind of dirt on Therrien. He managed to stay on the top power play for like 30 games and he only had 3 PP points to show for it. A ham sandwich could see Galchenyuk with that shot should be there. once both top C's got injured and Therrien had no choice but to try gally, I was smug as Gally racked up goals. boooooooy did that not last long. It was a keep 5 and I made a tough decision NOT to keep Galchenyuk. Let's be fair, I had McDavid, Seguin, Tavares, and one of Draisaitl, Ehlers, Galchenyuk and needed to keep one of Cam Talbot or Hellboy. I chose Talbot, which felt like the right choice for a year. Talbot went off a cliff after that year and Hellboy emerged as one of the top 3 goalies in the NHL. My decision to keep Ehlers and trade Draisaitl and Galchenyuk for a draft pick hurts but doesn't at the same time lol Galchenyuk went off a cliff after his injury. On the other hand, Draisaitl like laps Ehlers in points so that ended up sucking. I don't have ANY of those players except McDavid now and I did manage to get back Hellboy. it just cost me and arm, leg and 1st round pick. but yeah, take it from a guy who followed Galchenyuk for 3 years after his injury. He ain't coming back. I kept my finger on the pickup trigger every new team he went to. Watching him play is painful. he is useless outside the top 6 and so dreadful defensively they won't put him in the top 6. He was on a team with Malkin and Crosby and they could not get him going. That itself is impressive. Those two could typically get a ham sandwich points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Leafs jinxed themselves tonight with the mere news of this acquisition. I'd consider this his last chance in the NHL. If he can't make it work in Toronto, he's done. I imagine they still see the Galchenyuk from five years ago that used to burn us with the Habs. One last chance for him to be that guy before his career is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Poor bastard was traded before the canes could even put a name on a jersey... I always thought he had superstar potential, now he's barely a depth player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
