Player Discussion Josh Anderson - The Rene Bourque Edition

Oh God, an endorsement from you. That’s the ultimate kiss of death.

Anderson could be power house on third line. With Colombus that was great line in playoffs

 

[Rapala]

We might get the most expensive 4th line in history next season: Gallagher-Dvorak-Anderson for just 16.45M.

LMFAO
Compare that with VGK's 4th line of two seasons ago.
I think their total salary was less than any one of these guys.
I know Gallagher for sure because I definitely brought it up at the time.

Time I had high ankle sprain I was at least 6 months getting back. Noticable limp just to walk. What sucked most couldn't train for that time. I was along while getting my conditioning back. Seemed like forever. Been many years ago but still. I was amazed he started season last year.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I dislike the guy but I'll give him credit on he work he put in during the summer of spending time with A. Nicholas and rewatching all of his games of last year. Reminds of what Drouin did before ovy broke him.

 

[Vachon23]

I do think last year was an off year. He had a good start but the puck didn’t want to go in and he lost his confidence.

He will never be worth his contract but he can be a fine bottom 6 player

 

[boompuffboom]

guy with that kind of frame and speed has no excuse for not being involved in the game.

he plays 70+ games with cadence + grit +15 goals, im happy.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

I don't expect anything anymore from him, but he's a Hab and seems well liked in the room, so I still hope he turns it around cause he'd help a lot with his physical gifts.

Also hope he understands he has to do something when he isn't scoring, instead of just skating around aimlessly. If he does that and even grind like he should, then yeah, he'd at least be worth his salary.

 

[Rapala]

The dude seems contrite in his interview but I get the sense he's more concerned about finding the back of the net than becoming reliable in other ways.

 

[Walksss]

You can tell by looking at him he's in great shape this year. It's encouraging he's had a really productive summer with Adam Nicholas and the staff, apparently he was the only Hab who was there for basically the entire summer.

If the story is true all this guy did all summer was get married and train in Montreal. He might surprise this year, and in a bottom six role that would be an amazing exploitation match up for us while the top 6 draw all the top defensive match ups. I'm rooting for him.

That. I wish him to find his game after the work he put this summer. At least he tried and worked. There have been so much injuries in this team that a player with less hockey IQ could have been more affected with all the lines/players changes... we'll see.

 

[CAUFIELD]

Il be okay this year . Got unlucky last year . Remember when we called him the power horse. He’s still useful with his speed and big body. We need player like him. Hopefully , he will defend his teammates more this year.
