Fire him before he does any more damage, this is reckless

Love these threads that trigger emotionally-fueled negative reactions.

I’ve got nothing against the Habs.This Anderson deal is bad. For the Habs sake I hope it pans out. I have my doubts though.

Yeah, I'm here liking cheap top 4 d-men that provide good value.. I must be dumb or something

As a Leafs fan I don't expect you to understand, but Regular season points mean literally nothing.

Seriously, calm down people. Anderson and Nylander are both good players, there’s no need to argue.

He has NEVER cracked 50 points, let alone 75.

This is one of the worst gambles any GM could make. Imagine how Gallagher and Danault feel after this.
Gallagher + Danault + Tatar
should all feel like Bergevin owes them 7 year extensions with a $7,000,000+ cap-hits.
This is especially true when you realize that they've all carried Montreal for years while on hometown discounts.
Their career stats are miles above Anderson, and Gallagher + Danault clearly provide grit and intangibles as well.
To be honest, Joel Armia is almost a perfect comparable for Josh Anderson if you look at stats, play style and age.
Also of note is that Lehkonen + Huden are much more comparable to Anderson than he is to Gallagher + Danault.
All of the below Montreal forwards are free agents either this summer or next.
Most will be disappointed when they aren't offered the 7 year stranger special.
Especially since Josh Anderson's production slots right in the middle of the list.

There will be an exile of homegrown talent next summer.
Directly caused by the disrespect Bergevin just showed.
Or Montreal will be $20,000,000 over the cap, we'll see.
You heard it here first.
