<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Anderson is a righty Miles Wood. No more, no less. Big, fast, goes in straight lines. He is where possession goes to die.

Devils could have interest in Anderson at $2.75m for fourth line…but there little chance he is playing with Hughes or Hischier. Especially when both Bratt and Meier prefer the right side….and Mercer has gotten comfortable there too.

Further, it’s just hard to stomach Anderson-to-NJ trades after all the nonsense from a couple of years ago (completely fabricated story from Tony Marinaro…that was later beat down as Devils never spoke to MTL about Anderson, as LeBrun and others have corrected).</div></div>

As it stands, our best player is getting rocked every year, head hunted, challenged at the blue line. He can't carry it through the blue line all year because he never lasts 82 games, regardless of the circumstances of his injuries (he plays dangerously... if one hasn't happened, it's bound to happen). Anderson gets it deep. I don't care whether or not the Devils get Anderson, but they need to get a winger that takes the load off of Hughes to break the zone. Anderson, it just so happens, is big, mean, and skates like the wind. Playing with Hughes, he'd probably be a 50-60 pt player because all Hughes needs him to do is park out front and dig in the corners while he half-walls.

Anderson is an option, but this MUST be addressed in the offseason... we need Hughes for a full season, we need him protected.

Gotta admit, this isn't a stupid trade. I don't think the Habs would do it, but they could really like a player like Eiserman or maybe Catton (who's probably taken beforehand, but not guaranteed) and feel they can get a really good forward in a trade down...

But on their side, they're getting a young forward who can certainly score at a potentially elite level who just needs to not suck defensively, and they'd be getting a similar quality player at 10OA as they would at 5OA.

On NJ's side, they don't need Harris whatsoever... but Anderson they'll certainly want (and then they'll glue him to Jack Hughes, whom, I think, he would have fantastic chemistry with), and at 5OA, well if they really like someone and they think he can be an elite player, I'm sure they'd look at it carefully. As it stands, I think they'd really like Helenius or MBN and they can get those guys at 10, probably.
