Gallagher Facing Pivotal 2022-23 Season With Canadiens

Brendan Gallagher has five years left on his contract with the Montreal Canadiens. He has had a difficult season last year and needs to improve to keep his place in the team. He needs a new lease of life and to play the game he loves. The team is looking for a fresh start after a turbulent 2021-22 season. It's good to see a change in management and a better voice behind the bench. Brendan Gallagher needs the reset. His performance in 2022-23 will dictate his future with Montreal.

Gallagher was passed over for the captaincy in favour of Nick Suzuki. He will be an assistant coach for Martin St. Louis. The Habs need their heart and soul player to be present in the team's activities. Gallagher feels healthy and rejuvenated heading into training camp next week. This season he will have to prove to his skeptics that he still has something left in his tank. If not, he could lose his place on the roster to one of the many prospects. He has been an underdog his entire career.
