It costs more than that to dump Anderson. Going by comparables you'll need at least 2 1sts to dump Anderson.

You have to face facts, you're stuck with him, no one is taking that contract.

He’s worth an easy first rounder at the deadline 😂 what did Josh anderson do to you?

He's a player who hasn't been able to hit half a point a game, nor play a full season since 18/19. And yet he is signed until 2027 for 5.5 a year which brings him into his mid 30's.

Scores goals at a high rate 5v5. Big and fast. Throws the body in the playoffs. can move up and down the lineup. Unicorn player. Term is the only issue but with a contract going the other way or a 1m retention from Montreal it’s doable. Worse players have been traded for contenders firsts, looking at points sells this guy quite a bit short

That's fair, but for 5.5 mil on that term, you will need points. If you factor in the increased in scoring, he's basically Lucic 2-3 years ago. Yeah he brings some intangibles, but it's not a contract anyone wants.
