Today’s game was circled on a lot of calendars after the trade. The Montreal Canadiens finally parted ways with Alex Galchenyuk who the team drafted third overall in the 2012 draft.
Galchenyuk looked to be one of the slivers of hope in a team with a goal to make it to the top. It started well for him making the team out of camp, and the rest of his tenure in Montreal had its highs and lows. One of the highs saw Galchenyuk score 30 goals during a down year for the Habs. Unfortunately, the lows were the bulk of the conversation regarding his ability to play centre.
