Former Canadiens Gallagher Relieved, Excited And Grateful

It was a relaxed Brendan Gallagher who met with the Vancouver Canucks media for the first time after the Pacific Division side acquired him in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs' former alternate captain admitted that his impending move to Vancouver was perhaps the worst-kept secret in the league lately, but that this outcome was the best-case scenario for both him and his family.

The Gallagher family won’t be heading to Vancouver right away as his wife, Emma Fortin, is expecting the couple’s second child soon and they will therefore have to take their time, but that won’t slow down Gallagher’s preparation for next summer as he sill has access to the Canadiens training facility in Brossard, where he trained for one last time as a member of the Canadiens on Monday morning alongside Jake Evans and Lane Hutson.
