Do you think Gallagher will be bought out at some point? Either way, you cut it. In '26, '27, you're looking at a huge cap hit as a result of a buyout. If you were to be bought out this summer, you're looking at somewhere around 2.17 for the next two years. Then it goes up to 4.67, and then you have three years at 2.17, basically. If anything, maybe they buy out the last year of his contract, but even then, I think they just let him ride it out. If they buy out the last year of his contract, it's a $3.8 million cap hit that year, and then it's $1.3 the next year, and then you're out of it. It's more than half his cap hit. His cap hit is $6.5. You're looking at $3.83, and then you have to attack on a year at $1.3. I still don't think all has lost to Brandon Gallinger. I know we really gave it to him when he hit Adam Pelick and for the penalties that he's taken. But I don't think all has lost to Brandon Gallinger. I really don't.
