The next destination for Brendan Gallagher is beginning to take shape, as Arpon Basu has identified the most likely options for the Canadiens veteran.
The journalist spoke with the man himself.
A conversation with number 11 that sheds light on Gallagher’s priorities moving forward.
One thing became very clear.
Gallagher wants to play somewhere that allows him to take care of his family.
That criterion significantly reduces the number of options.

Arpon Basu summed up the situation simply.
Brendan Gallagher’s next destination will either be near Montreal or in Vancouver.
The logic behind those choices is clear.
His wife is from Montreal, while Gallagher himself is from Vancouver.
Vancouver emerges as the leading destination for Brendan Gallagher
That reality makes things a little more complicated for the Canadiens.
The list of teams located near Montreal or Vancouver is not unlimited.
A few markets fit those criteria.
Notably Ottawa, Toronto, Buffalo, Calgary, Seattle, and Edmonton come to mind.
But one destination remains the most logical.
The Vancouver scenario therefore remains the preferred one.
