Bertuzzi is also a lot better than Anderson. But fair enough he has some value even on that contract albeit not a lot
a lot better...32 in 69(on the Habs) vs 30 in 50(on the Bruins and Red Wings).
They had the same +/- despite Anderson playing on a statistically worse defensive team, and playing more games.
Injury status also can't be brought up seeing as Anderson has played 100 or so more games in only one more season.
I like Bert a lot, love his physical game and playoff game, but the same could be said about Anderson. Going off of that, I would call them very similar players. One is not definitively better than the other. But that's my opinion, and it ain't a popular one. Just trying to give value or shed light on a player that's given too much hate at face value.
Edut: Not to mention that Bert's looking for a substantial raise next year, which would probably give him higher cap AND longer term than Anderson's current contract.
