The end of the year player scrums for the Montreal Canadiens started with Alex Galchenyuk. It was a difficult season for the 2012 first-round pick, but one that ended with more positivity than last year’s. Galchenyuk wasn’t able to match or exceed his career high in points similar to that of Brendan Gallagher, but his overall play this season has taken a big step.
According to John Lu, the idea of the 24-year-old returning to centre wasn’t brought up in his exit meetings with Claude Julien and Marc Bergevin.
