Once Gallagher gets cleared for contact it won't be long before he is back in the Canadiens lineup. The Habs are first in the East right now and will only get better with the return on Gallagher who has 8 points and is a +7 in 13 games this season.
This is a tough break for Gallagher who has had a great start to his NHL career. He has 5 G and 3 A with a +7 in his first 13 games. Concussion's are tricky so there is no timetable for his return.
Gallagher has a goal and an assist in 3 games with the Canadiens this season. He was informed today that he will be staying with the big club and not going back to juniors. He won't be fantasy relevant until he sees more ice time.
Gallagher has followed up a strong preseason with 18 goals and 31 points through only 18 games with the Vancouver Giants. Look for him to get another long look before next season.
No immediate fantasy hockey value in the WHL.
Gallagher could make the team out of camp as he continues his extended look. The diminutive right wing scored 44 goals and 91 points last season with the Vancouver Giants. If he stays with the big club it would likely be on the third or fourth line, which makes you think he would be better served in the WHL.
