TELL ME WHYYYYY

So this is how Kyle Dubas gets fired?

Imagine trying to explain to your fanbase that you can’t re-sign Auston matthews because you traded for josh Anderson.

So what's in it for Montreal exactly?

Montreal passes and here is why

1. Sandin is not a RD
2. Minten is a nice peice but not when you want retention on the 2 Habs players
3. What is it everyone always says to Habs fans? Right, if you want quality you have to give quality not quantity

Niemela + Leafs 2023 1st + 2nd + Engvall or Holl

🤣

Montreal doesn't need an upgrade over Eddy, we have too many LD already and more coming. Sandin is not an upgrade over Guhle, Matheson, Harris or Hutson's potential.

right, but josh anderson is not quality. Easy pass for Toronto, MTL would be lucky to get out of that contract this easy with this big of a return

dumping an abysmal contract for a solid young player, a recent early 2nd round pick, a 3rd liner (which is what Anderson is), and two more picks. No thank you for Toronto.

just an absolute nuclear bomb of a resignation note. "hey guys i'm leavning by the way i traded Sandin & Minten for Anderson & Edmundson k see ya later"

Say you don't know hockey without saying you don't know hockey LMAO!!!

say nobody wants your 5.5Mx4yr 3rd liner without saying nobody wants him

Sandin is quite arguably the best player in this deal. Its between him and Edmunson who is an older rental, Rasmus holds by far the most value of anyone in this deal

Then why all the interest from GM's at the last TDL and over the summer? Right, cause all GM's want is trash, they don't actually want to win, they prefer 18 years of first round exits!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!

EDIT*** And losing to their own AHL Zamboni driver

Call me back when you are really motivated

some GMs, much like Bergevin did, get caught up in size and not actual ability, production, and impact. Teams may have had interest, but I find it very hard to believe that anyone was willing to pony up any significant assets because if so he would already be dealt. Teams either were asking for 50% retention or offering next to nothing, there's no other way Hughes doesn't make a deal

also sure resort to bashing the Leafs instead of the actual issue under debate, the Leafs 1st round exits have no bearing on the very little, if not negative value Anderson holds.

Sandin >>>>> Edmundson
Engvall>>>>> Anderson

but no because anderson is like really big

You believe whatever makes you happy, you know better than the actual GM's LMAO!!!

But i was told that Anderson for #2 overall was a certainty!

and that Anderson for a 1st+ at the deadline was a certainty...

and that Anderson for a 1st+ now is a certainty...

how are we even sure GMs had real interest? I know it was reported that some inquired but we have no idea what they were actually offering, could have been late round pick and Habs decided against it. No trade went down. Just because teams had interest doesn't mean he has some crazy high value. Leafs had *interest* in Mat Murray and still got paid to take him, just as an example.

no, no, it wasn't Anderson for #2OA, the Devils thought that price was too high. But according to Tony Marinaro they might be interested in Josh Anderson for Simon Nemec!

The Blues have Tyler Pitlick who I’m convinced is basically the same player as Anderson

ah yes, my mistake, my mistake. Big difference there, how could I have been so blind
