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

[Adam Michaels]

What I expected...if things go as intended this season, you start discussions on a long term deal next offseason.

Pretty much echoes what Jarmo said in Columbus and why they signed Domi for two years. He said he would like to talk contract again with him next off-season when he'd be eligible for an extension again.

I would've hoped for a 3 year deal, that would be perfect

I'd go as far as 4 years. To have that contract settled and not have to worry about it for at least another 3 years, and you can focus on other contracts. And when it's time to look at Anderson's contract again, if he's still here, you evaluate where you are and what moves need to be made.

But I would try to buy myself some peace with a longer term contract.

Yeah I was also hoping for 4 years but I understand there are two sides to a contract and Anderson will want to prove himself after his injury rather than take less on a long term deal because of it.

David Ettedgui on 91.9 Sports FM, the one who said Habs had a trade for a RW the day before the Anderson trade (although he said it was with a Western Conference team, unless he forgot Columbus is no longer in the West), said that Anderson should be signed over the next couple of days for 2 years between $2.8M-$3.5M.

LOL god that contract would be a DREAM

make it happen marc

 

[CHarlie]

I dont think this is unrealistic.....and these 2 year deals ie. Anderson and hopefully Hall....can benefit us big time!!!

I was hoping we could get him on a longer term, cheap deal but that's why players have agents . Under $3.5M AAV is solid.

Prove yourself young man and we'll get you your big bag of money in a couple years when the cap goes back up.

So why did Kekalainen trade him if he could get for 2 years at 3.5 mil and then pay Domi 2 mil more for the same term.

Because their 2nd line centre was Wennberg who isn’t really good.

It's been a few years the relationship between Anderson and Jarmo soured. I think there were hiccups in their last negotiation. He was signed a day or two before the season started, so he missed all of training camp. Looking at CapFriendly, he was signed on October 2nd.

And last year, Anderson wanted to have surgery for his shoulder. The team wanted him to hold off on it. And Anderson didn't appreciate that. He wanted to come back 100% healthy, but the team was hoping he would return to play.

So it was a fractured relationship. It's just this time, Anderson was really available. Whereas before, teams tried to get him, but Jarmo didn't want to move him.

Because of this mirage that people (including kek apparently) think that Domi is that much of a better player than Anderson. Which is ridiculous

The real most probably and likely reason the money would be so low is simply because of the injury that cut short his season and low production that resulted from it(which is now financially fortunate for us)

I’m expecting in the 4m range and anything lower is gravy.

Cause they needed a centre and we needed a power winger

I will be surprised if it’s as low as 3.5 .... except MB loves his 3.5 contracts.

and Tortorella loves Lattes but Foligno would have none of it as he’s lactose intolerant, that’s when Zamboni driver told the GM and then........

He's not getting over 4M per year...not unless he signs for 4+yrs and the Habs buy more UFA years.

But who knows, i'm sure we'll find out in the next 24-48hrs

Hope we sign him long term.

 

[cphabs]

Gotcha, and to be fair it took under 5 months, with a pandemic that caused work stoppage right before an offseason

and youre right, i certainly dont want to brush his injury under the rug as if it were nothing

All i was trying to say was that at least its not the WORST of the worst when it comes to shoulders, no dislocation, no broken clavicle, no AC joint and such

its not like it took extra time because there was a set back or he cant deal with pain or anything like that, it Take a couple of months to build the arm strength back up through rehab and training

Its not like you just sit around for 5 months and its like "ok enough time has passed i feel better now ill let the GM know im ready to go" lol

Much respect to you!

I figured he would have gone for Tuch money, 5 years.

I don't believe that guy, he's a fraud.

Alex Tuch signed a 7yr 33.2M deal (AAV 4.75M) at the age of 23.

Production was similar, but Josh Anderson is older.

I doubt either side really wants a long term deal at this point.

Anderson coming off the year he did, probably wants to reset his value to where it was headed pre-injury and the Habs likely want to take a look at how things go.

 

[cphabs]

One year at 4

This 100%.

 

[Adam Michaels]

He was right about the Habs having a trade for a RW they will announce on Tuesday that addresses a need of theirs. He said it on Monday.
