A 4th

Apparently Hughes turned down a 1st round pick so I’m guessing they probably want a 1st, good prospect and 0 retention involved. Doesn’t seem like they’re desperate to move him

I would steer clear. One of the worst contracts in the league

He should be fired if he did, for that alone

Jarvis for starters, obviously.

i agree but I dont see us throwing big pieces to get Meier. Im trying to find other and cheaper options.

The continuous cycle of GM's being absolute idiots continues. Gives me hope that someone will inevitably overpay for Klingberg

lol. obviously

Anderson might be the last player in the entire league I'd trade for

Collecting IR destined players

After the Chiarot trade idk man, thats more or less the value i think he would def take a look at, yeah Anderson isnt that good but he still on pace for 20+ goals and thats at least something lmao
yeah his hockey iq isnt the highest either but other than that he's actually decent and come playoffs time his physicality is gon show cuz playoffs dont have whistles and he's most likely holding back in reg season.

“What is Josh Anderson good at? Can’t play defence , can’t get to 50pts . For 5.5 mill I’d want 55-65pts for it to be a good contract.”

Habs fans: “We’ll he’s a goal scorer, that’s what they pay him to do”

** checks stats **
Barely a 20 goal scorer .


They paid mangiapane similar money and less term after a 35 goal season Lmao

there are few players I wouldnt trade for before him. OEL being one.

I wouldn't target Anderson if I was GM of any team. The supposed amount MTL is asking for him is ridiculous and not even remotely worth it. I guess, in the right situation, he has the potential to be worth it. But, with 27 year old forwards on pretty substantial contracts that they haven't lived up to, you don't pay for "potential" as if they were like 4 years younger.

Csick answered the question with an educated opinion based on professionally reported informations.

Everybody else is just doing worthless bashing...

If Montreal wants quality for Anderson, the Canes will bow out quickly. We are looking for a Trocheck esque trade.

His defense is a concern but the Canes own the puck so, his defensive issues would be a little more masked
The appeals for the Canes are his physical side and he is a shoot first guy (we dont have one).

Honestly with our depth, Anderson can play a bunch of PP time and we can put him one the 1st line on O zone / neutral zones. We could throw in Jarvis for defensive draws.

Skinner contract is worse

it was until this season. he might actually care about defense for the first time in his career

the player is better, the contract is worse

I really doubt Hughes turned down a 1st or even got a 1st (reported by a Habs fan insider in LeBrun). It's just Hughes working the media and trying to bring his price up. A 1st in a deep draft, that in itself has value

Jeff is on pace for 87 points after putting up 33 goals and 30 assista last year.

Take away Krueger actively sabotaging his career and its a 1.5 million overpay.

He got that contract as a pending ufa after a 40 goal season and with 3 additional 30 goal and 3 20 goal seasons.

Anderson got his contract after a 1 goal season and has been about a 35 point player his whole career

More than Carolina would be willing to pay.

Honestly, any NHL power forward that isn't on the IR is going to be very expensive, because there's so few of them left.

It looks a lot better and Skinner is practically untouchable for the Sabres right now anyways

Don’t worry Ken Holland will do that

Hey guys!
Sorry about some of us Habs fans commenting with stupid trade proposals.
If I look at Anderson, the player, I see a guy that seems well liked by his teammates and that can skate, hit and shows some flashes of offense. I think GMs are attracted by that « Power Forward » profile + once high-ceiling. Reality is, he's a good 2nd-3rd line guy on a not-so good contract... but he's not even the worst player/contract Habs have, so I can see some value there... Maybe a 2nd + B prospect?

But if I had to trade roster players away from Montreal, I'd prefer seeing Dadonov, Hoffman, Drouin and maybe Monahan/Dvorak go before Anderson...
