Value of: Josh Anderson

[HuGo Sham]

Habs GM turned down a 1st for him?

Suuuuuuuure.

It's funny seeing his speed and hitting get described as elite, when in reality, he has actually lost a step over the last two seasons, nor does he play a physical game; he's actually pretty timid. If he gets hit, then MAYBE he might start throwing some weight around.

such a dumb take

 

[TS Quint]

What would a 1st rounder do for us? We already have enough picks and prospects, too many almost.

Because many of those awesome picks and prospects will end up in the trash like all those awesome prospects drafted between 2008-2018 by the Habs.

 

[Hostile Offer]

So you don't realize how stupid that sounded.

Not really no

 

[TS Quint]

It's been wildly reported that they received offers that included first rounders and turned them down, the value HFboards applies to him and the value GM's apply is clearly not aligned.

Source: Lebrun Confirms CH turned down offer

I guess "wildly reported" means one guy who needs to repeat what he is told to say by Hughes if he wants to continue to be fed information. Then Habs fans rattle it around their echo chamber until they think it was reported by multiple sources. Funny we don't hear interest coming out of any other market.

LeBrun is an idiot.

Lol, goes against your narrative “he’s an idiot”. You on the other hand are clearly so intelligent. What about serevalli then

Frank Seravalli: I think my eye is on them to be one of those creative teams in the next 24 hours. They are antsy to do something. I don’t think, for as much interest as there has been in Josh Anderson, that the Habs have any interest in moving him. They’ve turned down some massive offers for him before.

Or dregs
On TSN’s Insider Trading segment, TSN’s Darren Dreger reported that “the only way” that Anderson is traded is if another club “makes an offer that the Montreal Canadiens simply can’t refuse.”

Or friedman
“Yes, I do absolutely think teams were sniffing around there, but I think the problem was the Canadiens were asking a lot,” said Friedman while on the Oilers Now show. “He’s a good player, he’s signed for a while and they’re not just going to give him away.”

Guess I should just trust your opinion tho

 

[Tetragrammaton]

That's not a concern with Gorton and Hughes, the Bergevin era is long gone.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Cool and he is a black hole defensively and getting worse by worse everyyear and makes 5.5m he is negative value



They didn't offer a 1st. Just like no one offered anything for Edmundson or Monahan.

You have no idea what was offered. I am sure 1st's were offered. It's the additional assets needed that they probably weren't ready to pony up. HuGo is NOT trading him for a late first (unless it is on the last year of his contract).

More worthless drivel from you. What happened before is IRRELEVANT. Team is under new management.

 

[Guffman]

27 points in 64 games. Gee, how much do you want for him rofl?

Dumb take. Do you see Tanner Janneot? Yes better contract, but theses types of players go for a lot. You can argue he’s not worth it, but that’s what they go for…

 

[Canadienna]

22nd in goals among RW league wide.

But sure he's a bottom six plug.

 

[JRichard]

22nd in goals among RW league wide.

But sure he's a bottom six plug.

Maybe at some point he will score more than 27 goals and top 50 pts but he never did while being paid like a 30 goals 60 pts winger.
4 more years.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Maybe one day sure, until then Kent Hughes is asking for the moon for him so habs fans and other fans can cry about it as long as they want and write paragraphs and paragraphs about it. He aint moving unless we get the perceived league value for him. (not his HFboard value )

 

[MardyBum]

22nd in goals among RW league wide.

But sure he's a bottom six plug.

Nino Niederreiter is 21st in goals among RW league wide, signed for another year at 4 million, is a pest, and is actually useful on the ice outside of goals.

Went for a second round pick.

If Hughes can get a 1st and clear out that cap hit he should take it and run, the Habs will need the space for better players in a year or two.

Jeannot makes $800K and an RFA and went for a bunch of picks near a pick around 20 OA. That was close to Gaustead got from nashville at 2012 deadline.

He is also cheap.
Anderson has 4 full yrs at $5.5M left….thst doesn’t get you crap. Montreal retains him to $3M per you might get a high 2nd.

Trading players with term seems hard at the deadline, but possible over the summer. I expect if ever Anderson gets dealt it'll be for hockey assets under contract, over the summer. Like Petry.

Which is why several GMs were dumbfounded by the Jeannot's trade. It was an overpay from a team in win now mode to a team that didn't want to trade him but it was an overpay.

You can foolishly trot out the Jeannot trade as the "new normal" but it really isn't.

GL getting a "good" offer for a player with that contract rofl.

 

[Frank Drebin]

The injury history makes it even worse.

What is his injury history?

the fact that several GMs were dumbfounded may be true but it only takes one to believe it’s a fair offer.
Again, you may not agree that some players are worth the return they bring, but it only takes one GM to believe differently and that’s their value. Not what the other 30 GMs think

Guess I should just trust your opinion tho

Its all echo chamber. None of those quotes are anything but opinion and click bait. Great, "Elliot thinks" or Seravelli's general comments on the interest, of course no specifics. The Dreger quote is hilarious considering its nothing but echo chamber as I said.

Yeah like I said your clearly the most intelligent person in the room. Wonder why they don’t have you doing there jobs

 

[Tetragrammaton]

27 points in 64 games.

19 goals in 64 games.

See how that changes the narrative? Goals are worth more than assists.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Because many of those awesome picks and prospects will end up in the trash like all those awesome prospects drafted between 2008-2018 by the Habs.

Draft power and scouting focus changed with the Habs over the last few years. We don't believe all our prospects will turn into who we think they will but you can spin it that way if you wish. All you are doing is posting flaming narratives.

Our current pool and rebuild started years ago (before Gorton/Hughes). There is a lot of guys putting up impressive production and development and it's a good sign.

We are not trading Anderson for a late 1st only at this point in time and that's why it was declined. Ridicule and spin what LeBrun said all you want.

Its all echo chamber. None of those quotes are anything but opinion and click bait. Great, "Elliot thinks" or Seravelli's general comments on the interest, of course no specifics. The Dreger quote is hilarious considering its nothing but echo chamber as I said.

The main point here is teams are indeed calling us and if Anderson was a crappy player like some posters are saying in this thread, we would get zero interest. Reporters are just reporting what they hear.

The fact that this debate lingers on over and over means the truth is likely in the middle. If this was a non story, it would fade away quickly.

 

[Tanknation]

What would Tom Wilson's value be? Basically same contract, similar stats, both are big, hit , and fight. Anderson is a better leader, faster, and more disaplined though.

Oh but wait. Anderson plays for the Habs. So we need to lower his value by about 50% to 70%, how could I have forgotten. How silly of me HF boards.

Pointless to debate this any further at this stage. We are not shopping him and we are looking for pry away trade value if we do trade him. Other fans are going to play the flaming and devalue game.

His trade value will be much better when he has around 2 years left. Higher cap and likely better production because he will be playing with better talent.

OnnJesnnot trade….see Paul Gaustead trade at deadline in 2012

Gaustead was a 4C, physical, strong at face offs. PKer

buffalo traded him to nashvilke as a deadline UFA along with a 4th fir nashville 1st.

Jeannot as team control left. I think 2 yrs. Tampa is probably thinking thry coukd resign him at a $2M per rate.

I think Columbus coukd have gotten a similar offer for Anderson when he was 24 or 25.

trams were not giving up a 1st for him. He makes too much for his role.

difference….Wilson us a bit more proven in what you will get. He also was a 1+ UFA at the deadline which is easier for teams to swallow over a 4+ yr contract.
