Here's what the newly-signed forward had to say about his bridge contract
On whether or not he's happy with a bridge contract:
Galchenyuk:"Un contrat de transition était mon idée. J'en ai parlé à Pat Brisson avant le début des négociations, il était d'accord." #CH

(Translation: The bridge contract was my idea. I talked to Pat Brisson about it before negotiations, he agreed)
He added that he was happy with the deal, and that it gave him a chance to prove his worth.
