Anderson had his best year production wise under Torterella, and loved playing with him, while it’s being reported that the Flyers want to win now. The two players you just mentioned, PLD and Laine both hated playing for him.
So now that the Flyers are suddenly in “win now” mode, they have minimal cap space and they have a GM with a history of making some terrible moves. They need centers and right wingers, and Anderson and Dvorak fit that bill and bring them much closer to win now mode, while being signed to term. They’d be shipping out cap in JVR and still getting a late first rounder. Basically getting two solid signed assets to help immediately and a late first to help later on, while the Habs get a top pick to add to their rebuild and a player to flip at the deadline. Seems like a pretty fair deal for both sides to me.
If you really don't have your Habs glasses on and really think this is a good deal for both sides, why not go post this proposal in the Flyers forum and see what they think? Or the main board and see what neutral fans think.
In all honesty, when I make a proposal that both fan bases of the teams involved think is bad, I know I'm usually in the right realm - because both fan bases underneath it all want to get something without giving up much significant, or at least less than what they're getting.
I'd do 26 and Anderson for 12 in a heart beat.JA is worth more than 14 places in the draft
But I think Colombus has moved on from JA.i'd do Dvorak and 26 for 12, and then Anderson and 12 for 5.
I would even add to these. But I don't think Colombus and Philly are interested.
