I still have faith in this guy and dont want to give up on him yet, some players help you get to the playoffs and others help you win in the playoffs.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but with Columbus having more cap room do you think they’d be interested in Anderson? I think it would be stupid

If the Dvo line is indeed the 3rd line, I'm surprised MSL has young guy Roy on it. I'm also surprised Anderson is on it ahead of Armia. Armia finished last year strong, and had good chemistry with Roy.
Also, MSL likes Gallagjer. And Evan's finished ahead of Dvobinbthe depth chart last year. We'll see who h of these two lines ends up being the 3rd line and which the 4th.

#1 Crosby is not out
#2 If you can't even play him on your 4th line, will Molson accept paying someone 5.5 mil to play in the AHL?

Go Habs!
IMO, Columbus would only be interested in Anderson if the Habs paid an added incentive for them to take the contract. It would be weaponizing their cap space, just as Hughes has done with the Canadiens. It doesn't make sense for the Habs to do this now, though, and I doubt that Hughes would do it.
I think most fans want to see an on ice compliment that will be closer to what the end product needs be and the sooner the better.
I can't stress the importance I put in graduating kids into the fold as soon as they are ready.
The longer we can extend the window the better chance we will have at claiming the ultimate prize.
Something I have to say about Josh Anderson. I immediately became a fan when he fought Jamie Benn and Zdeno Chara years ago. He just played like a prototype power forward. I always wanted the Habs to trade for him. I was ecstatic when they acquired him. 20 goals, north south player, very tough...what's not to like.
As a fan I can imagine how tough it is to score goals.
What made me sour on Anderson was watching him disappear for several games in a row, watching him do nothing when his teammates were being roughed up.
I hope he gets back to the 15-17 goals and plays a hard game.
We all want him to succeed.

Would be hilarious if we sent him back to CBJ + their 2nd (for "future considerations").
With all that cap room, getting their own pick back (to access more Offer sheet options next summer) would be a smart decision. Anderson's familiarity with the city, franchise & Monahan doesn't hurt, and their roster/cap situation makes rolling the dice on Josh finding his game/confidence a reasonable option... Plus, they can easily retain 50% and try to flip him for more assets if they don't like the fit either.
That he puts them comfortably over the cap floor while not likely slowing down their tank train is another positive.
Let's go Don, Ken, make it happen!

"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
Here we go again...
I'm not "arguing" anything. I simply pointed out that claiming the player who ranked 9th in ice time received "top line minutes" is plainly and simply false.
I've already said this, but this isn't an opinion, it's simply a statement of fact, so it's kind of bizarre it's led to multiple responses, almost always with a response to something I haven't said. I have not once, win this entire thread, talked about the calibre of Josh Anderson's play. I've only discussed his ice time, which was dramatically increased in the original post.
I really don't know how to be any clearer.

To your 2nd point, nhl contracts being guaranteed he’ll pay him (and everyone with a contract regardless) no matter what, and these guys don’t work a factory line or client services so it’s not like it creates a hole in the output. Seems irrelevant.
The only downfall to sitting him is team chemistry (he seems like a well likes nice guy, part of the gang) and his trade value. Neither of which sound like an owner problem to solve.
If Nicolas worked his magic, and/or msl allows his line to play north-south give him the puck in our own zone after his first few strides and gtfo after the shot and/or issuing possession loss then there’s potential spot on the roster for him I suppose.
