Habs fans will ask for a 1st and top prospect for Anderson, then offer this crap for a better player in Boeser
Replace
Habs fans with
insiders and you are correct.

"Colleagues Thomas Drance and Rick Dhaliwal reported that the Canucks understand “that the return will be relatively pedestrian” if a Boeser trade is found. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that
his value is minimal given the market conditions that the Oliver Bjorkstrand trade in the offseason hinted at, for example."
"Some clubs will therefore frame Boeser as an oft-injured, one-dimensional player who doesn’t score consistently enough at five-on-five to justify his $6.66 million cap hit."

"Scoop: GM Kent Hughes’ phone has rang consistently with teams inquiring about
Anderson, whose skillset makes him a rare breed in today’s NHL. Anderson has skill, he can move, he’s big and has brawn. Oh, yeah, and he’s locked up for five more seasons at a very reasonable number for a guy who has knocked on the 30-goal door. To date, the
Habs have resisted the urge and likely some tempting offers, but you have to at least allow for the possibility that they get a ‘Godfather’ offer they cannot refuse."
