Josh Anderson M-NTC

[Egresch]

Josh Anderson is one of the contracts we would like to offload. 3 years remaining with 5,5M cap hit is a lot for 20 points. He has a Modified No Trade Clause - 5 teams list. These lists are never public, so I was wondering, what do you think. What are those 5 teams on his list?
Just an easy poll to have a little bit of relax before the draft

I went with

WPG
EDM
CGY
BUF -> "Bad" weather, bad organization, small town, high-tax state

and added TOR as the fifth.

SJS only if the player is super obsessed with maximizing revenue because it's otherwise a good organization in a great place to play. CBJ is not as bad as BUF due to taxes.

Maybe VAN could be considered too but I think the draw of BC's weather and vibes would keep it off the NTC lists.

His contract is a full NTC

Pretty much

He means his production and caphit suck so much he's pretty much got a NMC

From what people like LeBrun and Dreger are saying, I think he could be moved at 50% retained.

I'd do that if Hughes can find a suitor. Eating 2.5m x3 to get rid of a guy who will only get worse and more injured as the years go by is addition by substraction and retention

He doesn't fit MSL's style.

It seems MSL's attempt to change his game and not make him a one dimensional north south winger, who only takes the puck to the net, took away his one dimension.

China wouldn’t take him on their national team

I also suspect that his body is starting to fail him and that it will only get worse and worse. These type of fast physical north-south forecheckers usually drop off a cliff in their 30's when they start losing a step. Add his bad shoulder to the mix and i won't be surprised if Josh ended up getting LTIR in the near future

If Hughes gets an occasion to trade him he should just jump on it. The writing is on the wall

I did the same as you and then re-read it and realized it, so you're not alone

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I will personally drive to Montreal and be HuGo's man servant for a day if they manage to trade Anderson before the season starts by some miracle.

I agree about those types.

But two things MAY make Anderson a different case.
1) His speed is elite. Sometimes fast skaters can still play because when they lose a step, they're still at or above average NHL pace.
2) Is he really that physical, lol? He's no Clarkson/Gallagher/Tucker type when it comes to the intensity he played at night in night out during his prime.

Looking forward to another 20 point season with no accountability

 

[Kents polished head]

I could live with his lack of production on the first 3 years of his contract. But last year was just a complete and utter disgrace from A to Z. The guy's not even a factor on the forecheck anymore.

I am not sure how MSL will handle Anderson if he brings another pitiful performance again. MSL seems to turn the other cheek when it comes to this player.

If he stays, I would be happy with 20 points because I expect significant drop of icetime for Andy. No more PP just 3rd or 4th line duties. This season he was on average of 15:27, 1:37 of PP.

 

[Egresch]

My guess would be that Hughes trades him to Pittsburgh. They have no future (terrible prospect pool and no picks), so additional two years do not matter for them. We might take some 1 year contract back (Eller, Smith) and include guys like RHP/Ylonen/Pezzetta/Harris/Kovacevic who do not have high value for our future.

 

[Naslundforever]

Hughes said no buy-outs this year in one of those end of season pressers fwiw

 

[Trabdy2]

Such an ugly contract for us, but I don't think they need to buy him out yet. I think it's in their best interest to try to get him going for a trade. If we have wingers on the farm that show they're truly ready to jump up and he's still playing terribly, I'd be in favour of putting him on waivers. Maybe things unfold like they did with Armia last year where he improved after waivers.

 

[Habs]

In general players do NOT want to be moved to Winnipeg, Ottawa, Columbus, Phoenix , Buffalo

I think Andy could bounce back and get 20 this year if Dach is back and the offense is spread around.

I am not sure how MSL will handle Anderson if he brings another pitiful performance again. MSL seems to turn the other cheek when it comes to this player.

yet he keeps throwing out RHP for some reason. Maybe a Roy can help jump start Anderson this year outside the PP

[Team_Spirit]

Arizona
Buffalo
Columbus
Ottawa
Philly

I'd probably swap Az/Utah with Washington for 24-25
