It's good that you're perfectly fine keeping Anderson, because no one is taking him. Yes, in a few years when he is a rental, he may have minimal value. But right now, with 4 years left on an awful contract, Anderson is a pure cap dump.
Don't forget these so called "journalists" are the same ones Montreal fans have been parroting for months going on an on about how Anderson was going to return a 1st and top prospect at this past TDL. Did that happen? No. Why? Because is was never realistic, it was "journalists" telling Montreal fans what they wanted to hear and was never something any other team considered.
No they infered from Hughes Repeated Comments that the only way he would move was for one.
There's a big difference in what was said vs what some people heard.
Listen to him yourself its not hard to Source Check.
He keeps saying Anderson is staying and the only way he'd consider moving him was for an overpay like a package with a 1st.
Doesnt mean its happening today , it just means whether its this year , next year , the next year or the one after he'll trade him for a high return.
He's not moving him cap reasons.
Personsally getting Dubois i think is pointless without Anderson .
Slafkovsky-PLD Anderson is the dream scenario behind Caufield-Suzuk-Dach.
Who else will fill that RW spot ? Ylonen? lol no
Gally or Armia ? ... Nope .
Our RW depth isnt exactly stocked as we are basically waiting for Josh Roy to turn Pro.
Armia we'd love to dump.
Gally we'd like to move but can wait for him to hit LTIR like Price,Weber and Byron.
Anderson we like and if he was 2m cheaper fans would be telling people off for asking about him.
Issue is they're willing to bury a good player over the smallest of overpay's , just ask Lars Eller, Andrew Shaw or Jonathon Drouin.
I get that from your POV its not what you want given how Cap Poor your team is next year.
But this Cap Dump fiction is beneath you , yet you lower yourself for low hanging fruit anyways.
Just saying you can say the only way you'd let PLD go is you could clear the cap to acuqire a replacement .
You coulda worded it 100 more accurate ways but again low hanging fruit
Its clear from your message your posts are more about Eye for an Eye type Revenge.
You ever consider Educating Ignorance via Debate as an alternative to perpetuating ignorance?
Just some food for thought
