Been hoping and praying we'll sign this guy, I've mentioned him on here this off season numerous times. The guy is as you said above an absolute machine.
2 reasons I ask this.....Firstly we expected more of the rough stuff from a Bordy and Mcgrattan but they came here with nothing to prove. Would B.Gallant have the same attitude???... who knows. His younger brother Alex is only 24 and he may have been the better option but he's resigned in AHL.
Secondly B.Gallant I believe has collapsed twice on bench during games so will he want to risk his health at this level?
For me the best enforcer signing is Jake Doty. Young, hungry and will have something to prove. A guy like him will be hugely cheaper than guys like Bordy, Big Ern and Gallant. That would leave money for one of our imports to be of even higher calibre or we could even have a young enforcer with 2 more imports.....just a thought.
I would be over the moon with a guy like Gallant but there are plenty of young hungry enforcers out there that want to prove themselves.
