Huge contract, don't see NJ taking that type of risk term wise. Maybe if he's cheaper than I'm expecting to be or if MTL retains.
Rumor: NJD interested in Josh Anderson?

I don't give two shits about Sean Monahan. He's a decent player playing well on an expiring contract for a team that's not going to make the playoffs.
I just thought it was funny to catch you in a lie (your point about recording games was directly related to you claiming you watched Monahan play a lot and were thus in a position to give your opinion on his play with the Habs).
Why it's even funnier to point it out and not ignore it: You were doing this completely out of a genuinely bizarre obsession with Johnny Gaudreau - who isn't even his teammate anymore.
I get a kick out of pointing out weird sensibilities. Call it my own strangeness. Your pretending Anderson now sucks/is overpaid reminded me of it. Because you obviously don't actually watch Montreal Canadiens games. Don't get me wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But you don't have to lie about players you don't watch though.

I do watch the Habs, they have several young players I like to keep an eye on. I don't watch every game, but probably about half. I'm sorry I don't agree with you on the value of some of your overpaid players, but there's no pretending about it, and it has literally nothing to do with Johnny Gaudreau.I don't give two shits about Sean Monahan.

You're a biased Habs fan, maybe you consider that before challenging other opinions on your players.
As a devils fan I wouldn't even take a 1st to take on Anderson's contract.
Don't remember seeing anyone say one year but I have seen some fans say that they think they can be out of the rebuild and compete in the 2025-2026 season.
Honestly that is still pretty short for a rebuild but who knows. Montreal could win the draft lottery and get Bedard and somehow gotten the best defencemen who for some reason fell during the draft with their later 1st round pick.
It's unlikely but not impossible so I won't rule out the Habs having a quick/quickest successful rebuild ever.

Hard no. NJ is not interested in Anderson. We dont want anymore cap dumps.
Based on ppg, Anderson is 12th on Devils team in scoring. He wouldn't even make the Devils lineup because the person that is 13th on ppg is Erik Huala and he plays a much more important role than Anderson would, winning faceoffs and PKing.

The coach has been constantly putting an anchor with Monahan and Anderson. Either Dadonov, Drouin, Hoffman or Armia. It’s a mystery to me why. Maybe because he wants to give said anchor some exposure for a trade. Maybe because he thinks this will magically get the anchor to get going. Maybe he think the anchor is not an anchor. Plus Anderson’s missed games.

He's a third liner that can put up good even strength goal rates, forecheck and deliver hits but lacks the offensive skill to play up in the lineup. He's a fine player but he's simply not worth $5.5M, let alone the fact he's 29 and has a playstyle that typically ages very poorly and rapidly.
He'd probably get higher then twelve if he's with the Devils lineup.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Simply put if the Devils aren't going to pay Wood in the $5 million range (which I doubt they'd do) they wouldn't then take on Anderson who has a similar contract. The Habs would have to retain some of his contract for it to make sense for NJ. The Devils also have Bratt, Mercer, and Zetterlund already on the RW, Why would the Devils slow down their terrific development path by putting Anderson over them?
I'm sure someone will say "then why not include Zetterlund or Mercer in the trade?". Well I don't think Habs fans would be excited for what getting either of those players would cost them as he's a great young okayer who a still developing and was picked 18th in the 1st round in 2020 . The price would be Some combination of Pathers 2023 1st, Rohrer, Beck, Mesar, 2023 2nd for Mercer)
I really don't know how to assess Zetterlunds trade value, Yes he was a 3rd round pick in 2017 but he pretty close to fully developed and is off to a great start in his rookie season. He's also on the last year of his ELC so I'm guessing Habs fans would say that lessens his value a lot. in the end NJ values him way more then anyone who would trade for him would.
Finally if you are wondering why I chose those Habs prospects its because the Devils needs are
1. potential starter goalie
2. a high end 3rd line center under the age of 25
3. A 2nd line LW who can take faceoffs for Hughes
Habs also need 1. and I doubt the Habs want to trade Slafkovsky or Dach so 3. is off the table. The biggest Talented depth Habs have is with their Centers so option 2. is best
Here ends my Essay that not many people will read.

And you would have given up a 1st to get rid of Monahan.
Not sure you want to be that confident there, sport.

It is a very nice look chart. The numbers, however, are not.

Trading away a late first to dump a liability like Monahan at 6.4M is absolutely worth it. Allowed Calgary to sign Kadri.

Are you trying to lie again?/Are you pretending that you wouldn't dump Monahan with a first even without Kadri in the equation?
Amuse me.

People say “we” like they actually work the the Devils lmao. You have no idea what the GM is up to. Multiple insiders said last year there was interest in Anderson and I doubt that’s changed whether it’s NJ or not is irrelevant.
It’s one thing to not be a fan of the player or not want the team you cheer for to trade for him, but don’t act like you speak for the GM of an NHL team.

And is nonsense like the post below ok to shit on or is it also easy bait since you are clearly the master of knowing what does and doesn't deserve to get laughed at?
Anderson missed games isn't a feature. It's one of the reason other teams fans consider him overpaid.
If his contract would run for this and next season, I could see him as an option. But he is signed through 26/27. The devils will have to deal with ineffective contract years of Hamilton and Palat in the prime years of the Hughes/Hischier combo. Adding another contract like this is a No- Go for me.
The problem here is Montreal gives him 2nd line minutes where he is mildly disappointing but much better than the cap dumps they took in along with draft capital. To them, he's fine for the cap hit.
The Devils will be using him as a 3rd/4th liner and you just cant pay someone that far down the lineup $5.5 mil.

Yes. It’s a trap. That makes more sense than it’s a guy talking out of his ass who makes himself scare after getting slapped down over his idiocy

Anderson difficult to play against in playoffs. Can score and size, speed also. Habs probably get a first and prospect back. May take small caphit back.
This Marinara guy is considered credible? Just watched the 'podcast' where he brings this up and it's f***ing laughable. He hedges but brings up Luke Hughes, Nemec and Holtz as NJD prospects when discussing Anderson.
I'm going to go out on a not very major limb here and say this guy is fishing for views on his show or whatever. Anderson isn't a fit in the slightest in NJ, "grit" be damned.

Fans are connected to their teams. News at 11
We are on a FAN trade forum if you want to ask what the Devils GM is think on Anderson you can come to NJ and stalk him.
on this FORUM you have to rely on fans of other teams who've watched how their GM's moves and paterns for years and have discussed them at length among other fans. Normal people would try to rely on such knowledge know understand its value instead of throwing a hissy fit that a team you know nothing about doesn't operate like it does in your fantasy land.
A while ago I asked Habs fans if the Canadiens would have interest in having Tatar back. Most of them said no in a polite fashion
and I trusted their knowledge and left it at that. I didn't complain and say"they aren't the Hughes so how the hell would they know!"Feel free to get into an argument with Devils fans that are disrespectful instead of just saying "no not interested" but don't get mad at people that put effort in trying to answer the OP's question.
TLDR = Why are you even in this forum? you clearly don't trust other teams fanbases at all so there is literally nothing for you here.

I understand the fit in theory. Anderson is a big, physical player that can play top nine minutes. New Jersey is missing a physical element in their top nine. But when you break down their top nine right wings they are all better and younger than Anderson at this point.
