Debrusk is a 40 points guy signed until he's 34. This would be Anderson 2.0.
Marchessault I would have taken for 2 years, not 5.
I swear people are obsessed with us getting dead wood back while we still have a lot.
We have young guys coming in, no reason to butcher the future this summer, we are not going for the Cup in 2024-2025.
Except for the fact that Anderson is not a 40 points guy.
28 years old Debrusk
0.296 gpg and 0.572 ppg (15:47 TOI)
28 years old Anderson
0.260 gpg and 0.44 ppg (15:49 TOI)
There's a pretty significant difference between 0.572 ppg and 0.44 ppg. The fact people still overrate Anderson is crazy to me. Debrusk is a legitimate 2nd line player. Anderson never was outside of one season "au chalet".
Also Anderson signed a few years ago and back then 5.5 millions was a higher $ of the cap. It's more like 6 millions today.
