This might be the worst ever trade I've seen on here and that's saying a lot with mtl and toronto fans in a battle for that honor

Just keep thinking up terrible ideas huh

Please elaborate

You traded Raymond for Anderson... Come on 😂

Raymond is only 21 years old Anderson is a terrible contract and giving up veleno too. Raymond is young and matches the future and is a top 6 player while Anderson is not.

This has to be bait

Wtf is this. DET needs to add Sieder Kasper and the 1st for the next 6 years

Detroit needs to add A LOT.

You sir are a master at baiting people.

Josh Anderson is an extremely rare player, only a few like him in the league which is why he's so valuable. He's not old and fits the Alex DeBrincat timeline with four more years on his contract. Also I think he's fairly paid and will probably be underpaid in the playoffs. Red Wings win the deal as I'm really not a fan of Lucas Raymond. I feel pretty confident in my opinion on him and think Montreal will regret the trade after they watch him play up close some more. Age needs to stop being the ultimate excuse for him. He has very little positive impact on the game and is another Zadina. He's terrible defensively and turns the puck over a lot and is soft. He had one hit last year and was held up by Larkin. When he's not playing with Larkin he's even more invisible only scoring two goals the last thirty games. I'm a big fan of Joe Veleno but Red Wings have younger centers that will replace him and he's still not signed so I could see him being traded. He can really skate and he's french so Habs will like that. Josh Anderson is physical on the forecheck and plays a really heavy game which would really help that first line. Red Wings would really feel good having him in the lineup. They also have Rasmussen and Kostin who play a heavy game so it's a playoff style lineup. They also have Soderblom so Derek Lalonde can put a big heavy line together when he wants like last season. Rasmussen can play on the wing and center. So they could play him on the wing again with Copp and Perron which was a really good line for them last season. But they could also play him at center with Soderblom, Kostin or Anderson. That would be a really effective line to create energy on the forecheck and create chaos.

Soderblom - Rasmussen - Kostin
Soderblom - Rasmussen - Anderson
Kostin - Rasmussen - Anderson

But Josh Anderson would probably play with Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin as they would need his physical presence on that line to create chaos on the forecheck and create space and get rebounds out front. Good trade for the Red Wings as they have two timelines. The next four years with Larkin, DeBrincat, Anderson and then 5-10 years with their really young core which right now is Seider, Edvinsson, Danielson, Kasper, Soderblom and others. They have enough young players and prospects to make Raymond expendable to help them win in the next four years. Just my opinion being a Red Wings fan that watches every game and has been a fan for 31 years.

You don't watch Red Wings so come on dude

This has to be another fan that doesn't actually watch Red Wings and think they know more than me who watches every Red Wings game

Once again… this guy is a non wing fan reaction seeker.

Please don’t encourage this kind of behavior lol

I don’t mind it if its once in a while but for sure this shouldn’t be consistent lol

I’m a red wing fan first and jackets fan 2nd so I have seen a lot of both Raymond and Anderson. You are absolutely insane

I am a Wings fan and watch pretty much every game as I live in the Metro Detroit area and think you are bonkers. Why do you dislike Raymond? You have never said, or you just do not like him period.

A. Is 8 years younger
B. Had more points and goals than Anderson
C. Makes way less
D. About the same +/- and Anderson

Finally this is just bad and when people from other fan bases think this is wrong
