27 goals and 4 years at 5M is not even remotely close to being worth a shot at Bedard, Fantilli, or Michkov
Well it was 27 goals at the deadline, which is on pace for 36 over a full year. I acknowledge that it has been difficult for Anderson to stay healthy for a full year!
Plus I mentioned throwing in Florida's first round pick in 2023 and another prospect, so that it would not just be Anderson for the 6 to 8 position at the trade deadline.
The fact that the move would be made at the trade deadline was relevant because other playoff teams would be vying for him, so the non playoff teams like Ottawa, Philadelphia and NJ would have to make the move at the deadline if they wanted him.
Another factor is that being in the 6th tp 8th position only gives you a 7.5% to 6% chance to win the lottery. With 20 games left in the season the team that get Anderson could improve their position and move to 12th or so.
My post was kind of a reaction to the many posts on here about Montreal possibly trading Anderson +++ to NJ for the 2OA pick (which many people seem to have many different opinions on).
If my hypothetical was crazy, that's fine. I was just wondering.
