Quoting: danielcoe
yes but he provides what we need in those three years and he is essental to having a team that can play in the playoffs.. What do we care if in year four he is no longer a great asset for trade... we need him now.. look at all the small forwards in Farrell and Caufield and gally and hlp you cant keep adding little guys.. you need guys like anderson and slaf and Dubois to beef up your lineup for the playoffs and that is why hughes is not looking to move anderson
habs wont be in playoff in the next 3 years but you just said they need Anderson in playoffs. Anderson wont be the Anderson that he is today when that time comes and he'll prob be breaking down, like Gallagher is rn. and size wise we already have Slaf, Dach, Heineman, Guhle, Xhekaj (makes everyone else 2 inches taller cuz he's Xhekaj).
Dach would be 1st line, Slaf 2nd and Heineman 3rd. 6'4, 6'3 and 6'2 on each line seems alright to me, could add another one in this draft with panther's pick, Barlow, Wood, Musty or But, all big guys, or PLD as you said.
Sell high on Anderson would be the best move, not in 3 years when he's gonna be slowing down and worth a 1/4 of his salary, he's also not worth 5.5 atm but if you get an offer thats good enough you should take it.
