The Montreal Canadiens trade veteran forward Brendan Gallagher to the Vancouver Canucks, according to reports from Canada and The Athletic. Both outlets say the Canadiens retain 50% of the remaining portion of Gallagher’s contract. The reported salary-cap impact is $6.5 million per year, with Montreal covering half of that figure. The Athletic further specifies that Gallagher’s actual salary is $4 million and that Montreal retains half of that amount as well. The exact length of the contract remaining is described as “remaining year” in one report, indicating the trade affects the final year of the current deal. The outlets do not provide additional details on the return package in the trade, the timing of the transaction, or Gallagher’s expected role with Vancouver. The agreement centers on the allocation of salary and cap responsibility between the two teams, with Montreal keeping half the financial burden while transferring Gallagher to his hometown organization.
