IMO CBJ is not moving Anderson unless its a major over payment. Guys like him are so rare nowadays.

Yup, I was gonna put

Chmelevski
Gambrell
Dillon
2022 First

But I’d think sharks would say no at that point unless a Pick was coming back like

Anderson 2021 3rd or a 2nd

i still dont think anderson gets moved for that above package.

Yeah the jackets are limbo, I mean maybe they’d trade Anderson if he isn’t talking extension AND they’re selling at TDL but yeah he’s just a guy you want in your team

Yeah Dillon cant be included and it would take the 1st and two really good players and or high end prospects. And at that point idk if it is worth it for the Sharks.

Lebanc, Gambrell and a 1st is more what I think it would take.

But why? Labanc is already better than Anderson, younger and on a better contract as well. This seems like a hilarious over-payment for the Sharks.

Yeah but sharks would rather labanc than Anderson at this point.

Trying to make it an achievable trade.

Chmelevski
True
Gambrell
1st
???

If we’re counting Gambrell (nhl ready guy) that’s 3 top sharks guys, I mean the only better we got is Merkley and Chekhovich but Columbus would rather Centre to go behind Dubois I assume.

Dubois
Wennberg
Texier
Gambrell or Sasha (he may stay down another year)
Or Gambrell can play wing and than you got True and Sasha as 2 centre guys, Sasha being the big piece of the trade, than Gambrell, than true + the first

I would argue that Lebanc is not better than Anderson, very different styles and things they bring to the game. But there arent really any other comparable players for the Sharks to give up to make CBJ want to even entertain a trade IMO. Maybe Kane and a pick? idk I just dont see them as good trade partners as they both are decent teams needing to add NHL ready players to get them over the hump.

probably good value wise, just my opinion that CBJ would want more NHL ready talent.

I’d say they’re better than the other in their own way. Yeah it’s hard to compare them.

Anderson big game, plays both ends, great overall

Labanc offence is his house, starting to play both ends, more of a catalyst

Gambrell is ready, and True is seemingly ready
Chmelevski could play now but it’s up to your development staff cause another year won’t hurt him if needed, but yeah I understand

Fair enough I do not know much about any of them other than watching Gambrell score on the Blues in game 6 I think it was in the WCF.

That’s was like basically his “debut” haha, seemed to play pretty well after he scored and just didn’t seem overwhelmed stepping into such a big moment, it was his first goal ever, otherwise he’s got 11 nhl games but debuting fully this year we expect

Too much quantity, not enough quality. A bunch of decent pieces but not one singular good one. The 1st works but based on SJ, should be a id 20's pick only. The other prospects may not even crack Columbus's lineup. Dillon keeps getting thrown in here as if he is a major piece or something. He's definitely gotten better from where he was a couple years ago but he's nowhere near a player that teams are clamoring to get. He's one of those guys that has more value to SJ then to other teams.

I don't see why Columbus gives up a young Anderson for these pieces. if they are blowing it up, it'll start with older guys, not their younger guys like Anderson.

Labanc lol. He has to be involved in every trade for fans of other teams. I’d rather keep Labanc over Anderson, we already have 3 power forwards that are better than josh in Kane, Hertl and Meier.

Gambrell is ready for full time NHL minutes but he is not much more than a fourth line PK specialist. MAYBE third line someday but I think he is most comparable to Melker.
