THW Proposes Intriguing Trade Sending Brendan Gallagher to Eastern Powerhouse
A few days before the NHL trade deadline, many names are circulating, including players from the Montreal Canadiens. While Brendan Gallagher's name was frequently mentioned last year, things have really quieted down on that front this season.
However, in the last few hours, columnist Mike Fink from The Hockey Writers has proposed a trade between the Canadiens and the Devils involving Brendan Gallagher.
Could Kent Hughes take advantage of the fact that Gallagher has significantly increased his value in recent months?
That's the question.

Here's an excerpt from his explanation:
Certainly, they are only a few points away from a playoff spot, but given the number of teams they would have to surpass in the Eastern Conference, they might look to further strengthen an already excellent rebuild."

His concrete trade proposal is as follows.
According to him, Kent Hughes should trade the Canadiens' number 11, along with 100% of his contract, in exchange for Quebec forward Xavier Parent.
He believes Gallagher could really help the Devils in the playoffs.

I'm really not sure about this one, but hey, it's up to you to decide.
Parent, a 23-year-old native of Laval, Quebec, recorded 106 points in 65 games in his final QMJHL season.
This season in the AHL, he has 11 goals and 13 assists (24 points) in 38 games with the Utica Comets.
As for Gallagher, he has 15 goals and 10 assists (25 points) in 57 games with the Canadiens this season.
And you, would you make this trade?
Would you trade Brendan Gallagher for Xavier Parent?
Additionally, let's recall that Brendan Gallagher is currently away from the team for personal reasons. We will keep you updated on that end.
