Description

So what? You overpay in some areas to build on others. That is called a luxury. Imagine being a billionaire and not paying for a Ferrari because you get better gas mileage on a Honda Civic. That is how many here think. Anderson is a Ferrari. Ondrej Kase is a Honda Civic.

They arent trading Anderson. Charts dont play on the ice, these analytics teams without actual hard work and determination never work, imagine a team with a bunch of Ondrej Kase on the squad! Anderson's at his age and pedigree you don't find. Even trading for a 1st doesn't replace his motor and leadership in the lineup. Besides the fact, he loves playing in Montreal. You see it on the ice with guys like Gallagher and Anderson rubbing off on Caufield hitting players like Tyler Myers and causing turnovers that lead to goals. Something many here that havent played the game and would sit out with a hangnail cant comprehend.

Only problem is Anderson is NOT a Ferrari, not even close.

Obviously. It takes outlandish statements though here to make a point! Trading Anderson would just mean once the team is ready to contend, they'd be looking for another Anderson.

Even in the context of the team though, I don't think he's as important as Gallagher. Perhaps he does bring a more physical mentality to the line up, however, I do think he's replaceable.

Gallagher is the most egregious example though. Ppl here really think hes a cap dump. He will never ever be traded, it would be a disaster for the locker room. Its laughable how clueless so many ppl here are with their charts and the JFRESH cult. I dont see how you replace him! They have so many young players in the lineup. You see how Xhekaj rubs off on Slafkovsky giving him so much freedom to run around on the ice meanwhile you have players like Wright that look sacred as hell

Hes closer to a Soccer mom mobile that you paid $85k for and realized it had bad breaks and max speed of 45mph.

But the dealer glued a Ferrari icon on it and convinced themselves it's a Ferrari...
