Montreal isn't using a retention spot for 550k on Anderson.

Why not?

Not worth it. We can use them on 1yr rental trades. This way we're stuck to Anderson for 4 years even though he isn't playing for us. May as well just keep him in that case. Beau and the anti-vaxxer don't move the needle enough.

Anderson’s not going to age well. In a couple of years we’ll be paying someone a 1st to take him.. might as well move him now to a win-now team who would be thrilled to have him. You get Beauvillier who is 3 years younger, a good middle 6 forward. He used to have Hughes as an agent so I’m sure we’ll be interested. Wilde is still a very good prospect, who cares if he’s not vaxxed. It’s 500k, to the Isles that’s huge, they’re a cap team. To us it means almost nothing. We probably won’t have many rentals to ship out at that point.

I wouldn’t take on Anderson unless I got Montreal’s 2023 1st round pick with no protection. And btw you got to take back bailey and Panik in the deal.

Idea Anderson can fetch a positive return like Beau is ridiculous. The dude is a glorified Joel Armia. What a joke!

Friedman and Lebrun say otherwise. They would call you a moron for that statement, but I’ll keep it in mind, champ.

Friedman thought Miller would be traded to the isles on draft night. Weekes thought the isles would make four or five major transactions. And all LeBron has done is quote what Kent Hughes said.

So maybe you should stop calling me “moron” and “champ” and be objective here for one quick second.

Can u also explain to them the isles don’t want Anderson.

I didn’t call you a moron.. I said they would call you a moron. “They said” those things because clearly there were talks being had that didn’t materialize. Are you really going to sit here and act like you know better than Friedman and Lebrun? You need to be objective. Just because you don’t like a player doesn’t mean Old Lou doesn’t like a player. He would do unspeakable things for the opportunity to land Anderson and you know it lmao

Actually there were reports from Friedman earlier in the offseason that they wanted Anderson. Sorry bud, you don’t have to like him, Old Lou loves him.

I know that Friedman’s recent work has been questionable at best. I’m very well aware what other people think of Lou, but old Man Lou Hasn’t made any moves to get older this off season lmao.

Friedman is talking out of his ass — I don’t care about his bull****. Isles also wanted Miller, and they were also gonna trade a first to dump Bailey, thanks for playing buddy.

Lou’s made one move this whole offseason. Old Lou’s desperate now. Missed out on the chance to give 31 year old Kadri a 7 year deal..

Lmao he clearly didn’t want to do that. According to Kurz, Lou probably told Bailey at the start of the off season that they weren’t gonna trade him lol.

Not everything materializes. Are you going to sit there with a straight face and tell me Lou wouldn’t love to have Josh Anderson? He might as well have been created in a lab by Lou himself.

So your projecting what you think Lou wants? Instead of admitting you don’t know anything about what he’s thinking cause you can’t. Because I can’t. And because Elliott Friedman is full of ****.

He’s terrible at hockey lol. Dude has a contract on the wrong side of Andrew Ladd. What a joke.

Lee is a glorified Anderson and he gave him 7 mill ahahaha

Lee had 28 goals last year. Anderson had 34 points. So if you actually believe that you must be deluded.

Lee has broken 40 goals in his career. Anderson can’t break 40 points.

Anderson has averaged 26 goals per 82 over the last 5 seasons minus his injury riddled season.

Lee broke 40 once and has never and will never do it again. He’ll probably never hit 30 again.

Well if you take out his injury riddled season that makes ur take much more simple lmao. But the dude still isn’t good.

He was on pace for it last year and he was coming off ACL surgery. Lmao.

He isn’t good to you.. he’s averaged roughly 25 goals per 82 basically his whole career. You can think whatever you want, but you and I both know he’s the type of player Lou loves.
