The Montreal Canadiens have officially traded longtime fan favourite Brendan Gallagher to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for future considerations while retaining 50% of his remaining salary.

On today's episode of The Starr & D'Amico Show, Shaun Starr and Marco D'Amico break down one of the biggest emotional moves of the Canadiens' offseason.

Was this the right decision for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton? How much salary cap flexibility does this create for Montreal moving forward? Does retaining salary make sense, and what could the Canadiens now pursue with the additional cap space?

We also take a look back at Gallagher's incredible career in Montreal. From his relentless style of play and leadership to becoming one of the organization's most beloved players, Gallagher leaves behind a lasting legacy after years of giving everything he had to the Canadiens.

Finally, we discuss whether Gallagher still has enough left in the tank to make an impact with the Vancouver Canucks. Can he reinvent his game in a new environment and help Vancouver contend?
