Habs probably don't accept that, now I have absolutely no interest in Josh Anderson but getting him with retention makes him a somewhat positive asset. The price offered there is enough to dump Campbell it seems so getting Anderson with retention probably costs a late 2nd (Edmonton should stay far far away though)

Makes no sense for either team. It's a lot for EDM to give up. It's a lot of years of retention for the Habs. Neither team wants to move out bad salary for bad salary.

There's still some hope for Anderson. I'm not betting on it, but if he can finish the season healthy, put some work in the off season, and find some chemistry in camp to get off on the right foot, he may still be able to contribute.
That's the best we can hope for right now. No need to jump in to retention and/or another bad contract. We should probably move him if there's an opportunity to be free and clear off his contract, but no half measures.

Bourgault won't be an NHL regular. Hrs like on the 3rd line in ahl.
This deal sucks for both teams. Campbells contract is just as bad as Andersons.
