I mean, I wouldn't touch that Anderson contract with a 10 foot pole, but NHL Gm's are weird.
Me neither but, damn...still.

Yeah, if I'm right and it's from the same thread from this morning, a few of us also came up with:
Mtl: 1OA+26 OA
CLB: 12 OA+Laine
NJ: 2OA
What they all receive is:
MTL: 2OA+12OA
NJ: Laine
CLB: 1OA+26OA
My thought is that Columbus would likely get a body from MTL in this deal...don't know how Devils fans would feel...I think, with an extension for Laine it'd be a great addition that 2OA likely never turns into, but yeah, it was interesting.
I mean, if you're saying 2OA would never turn into a caliber of player like Laine, then why trade him?
He and the team have both said they want an extension. Word is when they signed Joona Luoto (his best friend), it was largely because they had already agreed to an extension; they're just waiting until around the draft to announce it. Unless there is some doomsday scenario where things completely collapse and he doesn't want to re-sign, I don't see him moving.
The other problem is, MTL doesn't really have any bodies to offer that would really interest CBJ. Well, unless they are named Suzuki or Caulfield.
