"Redemption project"?!? Anthony Beauvillier had the same year Anderson had. And here are some more figures:
A. Beauvillier over the last two years : 122 games, 27 goals, 62 points, 16:50 ToI, 80% of the cap hit of Josh Anderson
Josh Anderson over the last two years : 121 games, 36 goals, 56 points, 17:14 ToI, $5.5 million for 5 years
Plus/minus is a coarse statistic, but Anderson is minus 35 over the last two seasons (-25 last year) while Beauvillier is plus 5 (minus 10 last year).
Note that you're combining two items from "a super reliable insider": (1) that NY might have interest in Anderson, and (2) that NY might be interested in moving the #13 overall selection. You and your fellow Habs fans shouldn't conflate the two and jump to the absurd conclusion that NY would be willing to trade #13 for Anderson.
