Insane overpay for Anderson, insane underpay for Fabbro.
Anderson is not worth one of Toronto's best prospects or a '23 1st, let alone both of them in the same deal. It ties up $5M AAV over the next 4 years in a player that does not produce - he's scored at a 36 pts/82 GP pace since joining Montreal, and it's not like he's not getting put in a position to succeed - he's averaged 1:56 per night on the PP since joining the Habs. Until he can consistently turn his talents into actual results, he's not worth any sort of premium assets - not at that cap hit.
-Fabbro, meanwhile, is still only 24 and has RFA control left. I think he's regressed some this year but he's been a solid RD2 the past few years for the Preds, and I can't see them just selling low on him after 25 mediocre games. Robertson hasn't shown much of anything at the NHL level yet, Gogolev is basically a lottery ticket ECHL prospect at this point, and Justin Holl is probably the best asset you're sending to the Preds. I'd also argue that Holl's been playing well enough that I'd rather keep him around and add to your depth instead of having Jordie Benn & Connor Timmins be your next guys up if someone gets hurt.
