Quoting: TMLBRIAN
Slug? You know he is extremely fast right? Anderson is huge and very fast and can score. His game isn't wonderful beyond that though. He has 21 goals on the year right now as well.
I personally don't think he is worth his contract but I can see why a team would like him.
Also, his no trade list is only 8 teams. Winnipeg may be on that list but there are 24 places he can go without issues. Odds are Winnipeg is one of them.
Yeah, but he gets those points playing higher in the lineup and mire minutes than he should be playing and he's too awful defensively to play in the bottom 6.
The Jets have Connor, Ehlers, Wheeler, Perfetti, Niederreiter and Namestnikov all ahead of him, putting him are #7 on the wing. He simply has no value to the Jets.
He also earns more than his cap hit and would be tough to move, just as Montreal found out when trying to move him at the TDL, as he continues to decline into his 30s.
The Jets will already be selling Dubois at a discount, they aren't going to exacerbate that by getting older and worse with an unmovable (without heavy retention or taking back equally bad contracts) player.
Almost all players have Winnipeg on their no trade list, so we can safely conclude Winnipeg is on Anderson's. Couple that with no interest from Winnipeg and he's out as a trade piece.
