For a late 1st, I surely keep Anderson and his brutal contract with the habs.
I don't think he's the answer, or even overly helpful
Massive overpayment for Anderson?
People need to take a look at his contract, then his production, and then back at his contract.
Fans just salivate over the big fast youthful guy who throws the body- before long he's going to be 30, slowing down, still putting up under .5PPG and getting paid 5.5 million.
And its not like he was the driving force behind the Montreal cup run, he was extremely mediocre even according to his own fans.
He's not someone I'd want my team trading for rn, thats a Lucic contract.
6 more years at 5.5 million. You are adding assets to make that cap dump. Anderson and 2022 1st for NJ's 2022 3rd.
Habs are 2.5 million over the cap with 10 players signed. Have fun just getting fair value for anyone.
Most of these guys will be gone this year or last year. There is gonna be a major clean up. We also have Weber off the book. Anderson's contract won't be an issue. Don't worry you won't get him.
I am not dreaming that I will get picks as I am not a GM. Can't wait to see all these 1st round picks the habs will have at this years draft.That total includes Weber, who is essentially retired. Habs clearly couldn't add much in terms of cap, but with cheap UFAs or ELCs, they'll be fine. And given the rebuild, it doesn't really matter if some of those cheap UFAs aren't long-term solutions. Stop dreaming that you can get picks along with players by offering Montreal "cap relief".
Weber is not off the books. He is on LTIR. I think you will be unhappy with the return on anyone that is trade this year or next including Anderson.
then you haven’t seen him play

Watched him play quite a bit, he's a good player but not what the Devils need right now and especially not with his contract
Sure, We are not desperate to move Anderson anyways.
Ya if he was already on my team, I'd be in no hurry to move him either. He's just not the guy the Devils should be looking at, Montreal would want the exact players and picks the Devils should have no interest in trading
Ya i know. It will probably take our 1st round pick and retention to get a 3rd rd pick for him.Dear god no. That contract is f***ing brutal
Absolutely. Any Habs players got negative value. We will be lucky to get a 3rd for Chiarot.Ya i know. It will probably take our 1st round pick and retention to get a 3rd rd pick for him.
Am i doing this right?
Anderson is a slightly better and more overpaid miles wood. No thanks
A little skewed narrative if you ask me.
* Wood is on his bridge and needs a new contract as a RFA after this year
* Wood has 121 pts with 65 goals in 323 games as a 26 year old (0.37 pts/game).
* Anderson had 115 pts with 65 goals in 267 games (0.43 pts/game) before he was traded to the Habs and signed for 7 years.
* Anderson has 37 pts with 24 goals in 77 games with the Habs so far (0.48 pts/game)
What do you think Wood ask for after this season if he says 1 year or 7 years like Anderson did to the Habs as a RFA with one year left?
Since he's out for the season with hip surgery he can't ask for much
Absolutely. Any Habs players got negative value. We will be lucky to get a 3rd for Chiarot.
If we are unhappy with the offer, we retain them. This narrative of "you won't get anything for them, so trade him to me now" is not going to work.
He's off the books for the cap. And we don't expect big returns for the trades. Just that they are gonna leave so we can rebuild.
