What happened: On a new Ray & Dregs podcast, Ray Ferraro and Darren Dreger discussed Brendan Gallagher's dressing-room farewell in Montreal and floated why the veteran winger's experience could fit a rebuilding team like Vancouver. "I don't think he's a tough sell," the hosts said of his trade appeal.

Why it matters: Gallagher has been a Canadiens fixture, so the conversation underlines how close the franchise may be to turning the page on a longtime leader. It dovetails with earlier reporting that Montreal is weighing trade plans involving Gallagher as the club reshapes its veteran core.

What to watch: Watch whether Montreal actually moves Gallagher this offseason and whether a rebuilding club like Vancouver pursues his veteran leadership.
