So you post this trade, get ridiculed (rightfully) in the comments for overvaluing Anderson & instead of reevaluating your valuation of him, you not only keep the same trade, but you add a 5th round pick to the return package.
Again, Dallas doesn't do this. They are much better off moving Dellandrea or Johnston up to the 2nd line than picking up a 35-point winger with $27.5M remaining on a 5-year contract. You keep bringing up the Chiarot and Lehknonen trades, but you fail to mention the most glaringly obvious difference. Both players last year were on expiring contracts. If Florida or Colorado had to pay for 4 more years of an overpriced contract, you don't see the same return (which could still be argued was an overpayment).
Montreal gave him the contract; it's their issue for AT LEAST the next 3 seasons, especially with the questions surrounding the salary cap.
