Looks like MB's streak of "winning" trades comes to an end. It was only a matter of time. MB doesnt like stringing too many good trades together in a row. Needs to spice things up a bit with an unecessary overpayment. Just to remind everyone that he is in fact human.

Not only did he overpay, he overpaid for a player in career worst down season coming off a major injury.

Thats what I call S.M.R.T!

Pettersson is worth what his next contract will be. Or are you unable to factor value into... value?

Jets are said to be looking for a return that consists of C and a defender for Laine. Could it be Domi and a D?

Domi fans getting punished is bliss

My username is stuck D:

NO KIDDING! WOW this is bad. What a huge win for CBJ. Jeez, I'm shocked, my jaw hurts from the drop lol

Something in this official NHL twitter photo feels wrong...it's either the team logos or the pointing arrows...

Guess they're just as confused as the fans are.

This is another trade that shows that actual NHL GMs and fans view player's value very differently.

I like Domi in Columbus. He has a great opportunity in front of him.

Rip, time to become a CBJ fan

Truer words

And nobody is talking about Montreal buying out Alzner!? FINALLY!

MB is managing cap space for re-signing RFAs and picking up prospects in the draft. He'll be making several more trades before training camp, so nobody should worry that the rosters are somehow locked in.

I'm unsure how to feel about Anderson after this season.

Disclaimer: I've wanted Domi out for the past 6 months. I think people are overacting and overestimating Domi severely. He's not versatile. I don't believe he's got any use on the PP, because he can't shoot. He's fast and good on the rush 5-on-5, and he's good at cross-ice passes, but that's about it. He's a defensive liability (anyone remember when DET was matching lines against him and then swept MTL for the first time in NHL History?) and he was without a doubt the number 4C on the Habs.

This moves makes the team more balanced on paper at least. The Habs now have 3 RW, so one more to go...

Giving away a 3rd kinda sucks, but I'm guessing the writing was on the wall that MTL wanted Domi out.
Hopefully, the Anderson contract will look okay?

Name change comin'?

I can't cuz of time

muaghahahaha canadians fans thought max was worth so much more ... jarmo steals the show..

I'll have whatever Bergevin is smoking. What the **** is this?

It's the colour pallet. MTL should have the red background and CLB the blue

Ouch

oh that would be a huge move for columbus .. r.murray and m, domi for laine.. that would be one heck of turnover ..

That's probably it.

Whew.

Yeah I was just thinking about this. Ballzy move I'd say.

The demand was high for Andersson. MB really wanted him I guess, and overpaid with the 3rd round pick. It's not as bad as people make it look, Andersson is exactly the type of winger the habs needed. Big and reliable defensively, will be useful for the development of Suzuki and Caufield! And Domi wanted to play C, but aint no spot avaible there for him currently.

Columbus wins this trade atm, since they get the most talented player. But seems like a good trade overall.

Whoa, they had to give a third round pick plus Max Domi to get Josh Anderson. HAHAHAHA !!!
Columbus must be very happy. However, there was no place for Max Domi in Montreal. As there was no place for Josh Anderson in Columbus. Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Nick Suzuki made the decision for Marc Bergevin, and Danault was simply too valuable to get traded.
From a value perspective, Columbus wins this deal easily. Not only do they get a second line center who brings more skill to the team, but he is also a good playmaker who is capable of scoring goals. Don't know if he will be compatible with John Tortorella's system, but whatever, he brings something interesting to Columbus.
As for Montreal, they get that big forward. This could either be a great or an awful trade for Marc Bergevin. Time will tell. Drouin/Suzuki/Anderson has a lot of potential as a line.
