Quoting: KingofRnR
Not sure, other than not as much. Anderson is Taller, 30lbs heavier, has scored over 20 goals in a season and is a career -8, but more importantly he’s a Right Shot RW with Playoff Experience, having been to the Stanley Cup Finals and comes with a long-term contract which is definitely debatable as to whether it’s good in the short & long-run or a potential boat anchor of a deal
Miles Wood is definitely a good player, but his injury history and the fact he’s a career -58 (yes, I know the Devils we’re going through a rebuild but still) has to bring his value down. He’s also a UFA after this season and could soon demand more than $5.5mil/yr if he stays healthy and continues to play like he has so far this season
Both are similar size, speed guys…but have had injury issues, both drafted between 95-100 (4th round).

Anderson: 13gp, 4g, 2a, 6pts
Contract
Wood: 1-year, $3.2 million
Anderson: 5-years, $5.5 million (with NTC protection)
They are very similar player, but on very different contracts. Josh Anderson would be more of an off-season maneuver.
