They have a ton of picks the next few years. if they trade Josh Anderson it will be for an overpayment. Josh loves it in Montreal and they need his size. He's too unique a player. Yes, its a risk with his injury history but to have a winning formula, you need a little risk on your roster. There's no such thing as a sure thing, this sport is more random than the other BIG 3 sports, you can't overthink your roster. This team has a lot more problems than Josh's potential long term injury future.

The number 1 thing they need to do is dump some long term deals like Joel Armia and Jeff Petry whom still have value in the league.

They need some size in the top 6, even more if they get Cooley this year. The contract isn't ideal but the Habs are fine with Anderson.

*They're, if you're gonna trash our franchise at least use proper grammar

Most guys that fall of a cliff are below average skaters that lose a step and cant keep up with play. It would take a massive career altering injury for Josh too get to that point

Wasn't trying to trash, just trying to point out that you should get rid of Anderson soon otherwise Montreal will be stuck with a lot of cap penalties in the future and a loss of potential assets.

Armia has very little value left in the league after this season and his contract sucks but you could get a sixth for him.

Petry's value probably depends on what GM is offering.
