its much much funnier that habs fans and only habs fans for that matter, think hes not a cap dump, andersons a big usless player making 5.5 for the next 4 years though, his contract is baaaadd

he hits though, he hits! hes worth more than a first!

I love Anderson's game. Don't get me wrong. But $5.5 million for 35 points? Kerfoot as a Leaf produced similar numbers...... so Habs fans are going to try and sell me on 2 hits a game being worth an additional $2 million a year? Noooooooooooooo.

Anderson should be PP ju-ju. Size, front of bet presence, garbage goals. Yet, he has 1 (yes 1!) 20 goal season to his name.

Noooooooooooooo.

Literally all the sources I named are outside MTL and it's ranged from Calgary last year instead of Toffoli to the Islanders at the draft last year instead of Romanov to a couple contenders at this year's TDL

One day you'll argue with facts and not just your own opinion but today apparently isn't one of those days

please tell me how its a "fact" that hes worth his contract and isnt a cap dump, please explain to me how his contract isnt bad. im all ears

I'm going to need a link to these sources stating Calgary and New York offered their 1st round picks for Anderson.

Those were the rumors, only thing that was confirmed by just about every insider that Hughes turned down a 1st rounder for Anderson.

Got it, so rumours and speculation on what teams MIGHT do, and something that came out of montreal without a specified team or any other details on what was involved in the trade if it even existed (almost certainly retention)

His value is whatever other GMs offer for him, which has been a 1st round pick, just like I have been saying this entire time. Not a hard concept to follow, Montreal gets offered a 1st they say no, that equals that MTL values him more than a lone 1st.

And this has been confirmed from multiple sources that I listed before.

Just cope harder man, I literally tell you that all these experts heard Hughes report, went and confirmed it and now you're arguing with me about it. I'm not on the inside, none of us are but typically when a GM says something and then it gets backed up by multiple sources then it tends to be true.

All these experts reported that hughes claimed to have been offered a first yes.

confirmed that hughes told the insiders he was offered a first

Calgary and Ottawa

Calgary was willing to send their 2023 1st and Ottawa was the 7th pick in 2022 for Anderson and 26th but CAT became available out of nowhere

Again, source? Because anderson would put Calgary 3 mill over the cap, with only a 20 man roster.

Like how our value for Chiarot was sickening? Habs fans remember rival fans saying
Hes a cap dump
No one will pay over a 4th for him
Hes a bum so no gm would ever give up value for him

He got us a 1st and then he got signed by so callled 'Wonder" gm Yzerman for 4 years at 4.75m.

This is the thing about Habs sources. They are either easily proven wrong or they are bang on. Like Tony Mariano, said something stupid about Michkov, got told off immediately. He knew the Caufield contract was gonna be under Suzuki's deal a week before he got extended. So if something like Anderson's value hasnt been disproven yet, theres a better chance than not its right

several habs fans have said that he is worth his contract, he is not, not up for debate

chiarot was a rental at like 3m, anderson has 5.5 cap hit for 4 more years

Josh Anderson has 14 points in 43 playoffs games. He is not a playoff performer. Leafs are not paying him $5.5 for the foreseeable future.

You do know Hughes never said he was offered a first for Anderson. This report came from Friedman, Lebrun and other popular reporter
