Montreal Canadiens really turned around the corner in their restoration, as evidenced by the presence of several first -class young players in the team. The prospects that we spoke of in recent years finally have come, and they are the basis of the team, pushing veterans such as Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson back to the fourth line. The most crazy part of all this is that Hab still has several prospects that insist that in the next few years they will be able to earn a place in Montreal.
And with growing prospects, Stu Cowan asked the fan in his last Postal bag What will happen to Gallacher and Anderson two years later, when their contracts expire. Well, Stu Cowan was clear in his answer, saying that he simply could not see how Habs holds Gallagher at the end of his contract when he was 35 years old.
My first weekly #Habs Mailbage of the Season answering questions from Canadiens fans about Lane Hatson, team management, Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson, Florian Xhekaj and even Guy Lafler: https://t.co/wdftml5lzc –

Two years later, Michael Hage and even Alexander Zharovsky joined the Hab, so then there will not even be a place for Gallagher. Add to this the fact that Florian Xhekaj, Owen Bek and the company still insist on the spot, and if it had not been for Hallagher and Hefty Contracts would probably make a team.
And as if sad, it is true that at the age of 35, Hubs actually had no reasons for the Gallagher’s second signature, except to ensure that he remains a member of HABS for life. Maybe Galli will retire in two years, but now there are no signs of this
And the fact that Gallagher's presence with Habs in 2027-2028 makes is even more doubtful, this is Habs Avenue, whose style is very similar to Gally's.
Indeed, Vincenz Rorer, who had just had an excellent training camp in Montreal, before he was sent back to Switzerland, is a young, energetic player who is often compared with Gallachera in various analyzes, therefore, if he continues to develop, Rorrer, who is only 21 years old, can really fill the role of Gallachier in several years.
In short, this is a shame, but Hubs should wait impatiently, and, obviously, Gallagher now lives in Montreal, because at 35 years in two years, Habs will be sought in another place. As for Josh Anderson, he will be 33 years old in two years, and his presence with HABS for his contract really depends on what he brings to the team in the next two seasons.
He still can have any important role in terms of depth of two years if he develops some chemistry with such a guy as Florian Xhekaj.I will leave you in full stu Cowen Postal bag Here.
