Confirmed with Link: Anderson to Habs for Domi and a 3rd II

[Vachon23]

Do you remember how many player hated Therrien? and the GM kept him around...even UFA said they never sign with Montreal due to Therrien ..GM still kept him around...LOTS of players left town early ...

Remember how many players like Jacques Martin? GM kept him around ....players hated him .

Therrien never stayed 10 years with the same team

I’m excited to see Anderson playing rw of Suzuki. I was very impressed when he played against us in the past. He is a beast. Hopefully he is healthy and is a big contributor. I like the trade and i see lots of upside.

After listening to the guy on TSN, I have to say I liked everything I heard...

There's nothing I would like more than to be proven wrong by Anderson.

Still think it could be a total shitshow though...like... getting booed (virtually) because he has no goal in his first 20 games with the team

That would happen to every player though and I think you're being generous with 20 games.

 

[Wats]

Drouin Suzuki Anderson
Tatar Danault Gallagher
Hall Kotkaniemi Armia
Lehkonen Evans Byron

Now that's a lineup I'd actually be excited to see.

 

[Mike Towers]

Drouin Suzuki Anderson
Tatar Danault Gallagher
Hall Kotkaniemi Armia
Lehkonen Evans Byron
Poehling

If you have Hall and Anderson then you don't have Tatar and Byron no cap space.

I don't think he randomly turned into a scrub overnight after having steady progression and a career year. He was injured and it showed.

 

[Big Empty]

I'd do

Hall - Kotkaniemi - Gallagher
Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Lehkonen - Danault - Armia
x - Evans - x

Tatar/Byron traded for futures

Max Domi:

[CheldishGamibno]

I would guess he's probably one of the speedier big guy in the league right? I can't think of anyone else having so much speed for that size.

5 yrs ....and Therrien was no players coach like Julien...

Not many players have his size, physicality, speed, and scoring touch.

Perfect ! I take Hall and Anderson way before Tatar and Byron

20 games is Gomez and DD like territory. Unlike them he'll never justify his presence by his playmaking ability so if he score no goals in 20 games that's like very bad.

 

[FormerLurker]

Can someone summarize the content of those deleted tweets? Some posters are saying that Domi has been bad mouthing the org and is behaving like a child. Did he post something on twitter then remove it? The only things I have seen were that he said Anderson would have a blast playing in Montreal and that he'd rather not discuss his relationship with Julien. Was there more?

 

[Deebs]

I was referring more to the fact the fans would be on him much sooner than 20 games.

Who the hell would take Tatar and Byron rofl

I don't know. MB hypnotized half of Montreal so i think 20 games looks like a fair number to me

 

[Habaneros]

I said few days ago

Byron for Laine?

I'm in

Good thing his injury was not a knee or somewhere else that could affect his speed.

 

[Roadhouse]

I won't defend the rationale itself but I believe it's things like these (relative to the Habs' Let's-all-be-Saints player policy; re: Subban) that got Domi out of Montreal, all clips from the past season. Domi not wanting to play wing did not help either. Anderson if healthy is a much more balanced fit up front, while being a tad older and costing a tad less. No one knows for sure how he looks next season.

Away Gladiator celly in Calgary (0:58), away Gladiator celly in Vegas (0:10). If he ends up smoking Kerfoot in the jaw as he intended I'm not sure what happens next.








Again, I won't defend the 'why' behind the idea of shopping Domi around but I think -- given the Habs' history of wanting politically correct human beings on the team -- it's what drove the trade.



Welcome to MTL, Mr. Anderson. Just watch for bullets from the point and you'll be fine. @Andy is about to see his username a whole lot in GDTs (I think 77 goes by 'Andy'?).

 

[Habaneros]

I think the odds are high BlueJackets eventually end up flipping Domi to the Leafs and getting a good deal .
