The Sea Dogs had the league's best regular season record, losing just seven games in regulation, won the playoff championship, and captured the Memorial Cup. In the regular season, Galiev scored 37 goals with 28 assists and had a +36 plus/minus with 40 PMs in 64 games.

After finishing with the league's best record, Saint John rolled through the playoffs – losing just one game.

Talent Analysis
A talented puck handler, Galiev has a knack for finding the open man to set up a scoring opportunity. Elusive along the boards, the 18-year-old is hard to knock off the puck, thanks in part to his wide stance, although he would benefit from getting stronger. Already familiar with the demands of the North American game, Galiev has shown willingness for both the physical side of the game as well as helping out in his own zone, but he still needs to improve in both facets.
Future
Long-term, Galiev projects as a top-six forward who can both distribute the puck and put it in the net. His positional play and defensive awareness are areas of his game that are still developing.
