Savard is good though, especially in the areas we need to address. We also know what type of players Rielly pairs best with and Savard is that. Anderson is not super overpaid at all; you could argue he's overpaid based on his current production, but he also has incredible value as a physical forechecker with great speed and finishing ability, a skillset that I think would make him look great on this team, especially in the playoffs. Monahan is great both ways and always has been, he's an ideal 3C with the potential to play further up the lineup.
This team is undoubtedly better IMO, and we'd only be spending assets that are very questionable to be game changers come playoff time, in a year where I feel we have our best shot at winning a cup. Appreciate the feedback, but we'll need to agree to disagree I think.
Anderson is 29 and on his 8th NHL season. He should NOT be paid on potential. He is what he is. He has cracked 20 goals twice and 35 points once.
He is a 15-20 goal/30-35 point physical winger who is good on the forecheck. That is an average 3rd line winger. That's worth maybe 3 million.
That's ignoring he is scoring like a 4th liner this season.
He's super overpaid
