I don't think CHI would have any problem taking on another bad contract at that point, because any kids CHI has coming into the NHL ranks over the next few years won't need to get paid until his contract is up, anyway. CHI might even still be struggling to get to the salary floor, honestly.
My concern is whether that is enough. I don't think a 2nd pays for two years of a $5.5M cap dump, but those are also two of the cheapest years of his contract, since it was mid loaded. But, It took a 2nd for VAN to dump two years of Dickinson on CHI, and his deal is half the price. So, it really depends on how useful Anderson is at that point. If he is playing well enough but MTL just needs the cap space, it could be doable.
