I know Habs fans love this guy and will defend him to their deaths, but at some point we have to look at some Josh Anderson Facts:

-In the 7 seasons since he became a full-time NHL player (2016-17), he's missed 13+ games four separate times, and has only had perfect attendance in one season. As the old saying goes, "the best ability is avail-ability" - maybe a little cliche, but Anderson's injury history has to be at least an orange flag, if not a fully red one.

-Josh Anderson will be turning 29 in May - happy early birthday! Unfortunately, when you combine that age with his injury history, you are looking squarely at age when players start declining - there have been a handful of studies that point out 25-28 as the typical scoring peak ages for forwards. Anyone acquiring Josh Anderson at this point is getting him for his age-29 through -33 seasons; one only needs to look at Milan Lucic before and after his 29th birthday to make this an extremely bright, blinking, neon, blindingly red flag. (Lucic before his 29th birthday: 729 GP, 182-265-447, 0.61 PPG; Lucic after turning 29: 444 GP, 51-86-137, 0.31 PPG)

-Josh Anderson gets paid $5.5M per year for the rest of his deal. This year, there were 61 NHL forwards who played a game on a contract making them between $5M and $6M AAV. Josh Anderson's 0.46 PPG was 53rd out of those 61 players. The only players with a lower PPG than him were Evgeni Dadonov, Jordan Staal, Anthony Mantha, Josh Bailey, Kyle Okposo, Jakob Silfverberg, Lucic, and Patric Hornqvist. Do with that information what you will.

-Josh Anderson has played in 43 NHL playoff games in his career, scoring an 8-6-14 line in those games. He scored one goal apiece in three different trips to the playoffs with the Blue Jackets, totaling 21 GP; he put up a 5-1-6 line in 22 GP during Montreal's Cup Final run in the bubble. In those playoffs, he had two games where scored 2 goals, and 20 other games where he scored 1 goal and 1 assist combined.

I understand the argument for intangibles, but at some point there's only so much value you can put on that. I know that all it takes is one GM to make a dumb move, and also that the Habs have no real reason to sell off a player they can easily afford under the cap, but if there's any truth to the rumor that Hughes has already turned down a 1st rounder straight up for Josh Anderson, then we need to seriously reevaluate how good of a GM he actually is.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>Hes young. If it wasnt for factors such as the pandemic and the bigger known fact that power forwards take longer to mature. He has never had a top6 consistent role and without PP time.

I'll talk your language with false equivalencies if youre going to bring up Zach Parise. Jack Hughes also has 1 season over 56 points in 4 seasons. That make him less than the 99 point player this season? That is your narrative congrats.</div></div>

Sample size: exists. Jack Hughes has also only improved each year and is 20 years old. Stop making bad faith arguments

Parise has more career points than McDavid so he is better! Maroon has more cups than McDavid so he is better? Binnington has more cups than Shesterkin so he is better!

Bad faith arguments get us nowhere
