So...Washington trades one year of a bad contract for four years of a terrible contract??

That Philly trade makes no sense. Florida was supposed to be better, trading away a 14th OA pick in a deep draft, to defer it a year for what most likely could be a later pick in a less deep draft in exchange for a 3rd is nonsense.

Why would Montreal pass up on any of the top prospects at 7th to draft a guy who is predicted to go in the 20's?! That is just a waste of a top 10 pick! There are 13 better centers in the draft than Honzek, if you want him so badly just move the Habs 2nd and a 3rd to move up and get him in the mid 20's don't blow a top 10 pick!

unironically getting josh anderson to even the 12th percentile in chance assists should warrant some jack adams consideration https://t.co/CyyHsNOko8 pic.twitter.com/2srWsU2W1B

Tribalism here makes even facts convince no one of anything.

Anderson could score 5G a game and a lot will still nitpick what he doesn't do well.

It's kinda sad.

Even if he was playing up to his contract, the whole point of Washington dumping the contract was to get the money off the books. Saving 200k and then being saddled with a meh player at 5.5 million for three more years after is not the right way to do that lmao

Neither here nor there. I realize your speaking from the Caps perspective but your deflecting from the argument that Anderson is bad money. That is the point.. he isn’t bad money, so I don’t know why you are laughing as no one else is laughing with you

5.5 for any player who is, at best, a 0.5 ppg player is bad money, no matter how you slice it. Many Caps fans want to get rid of TJ Oshie for the same reason, and Oshie was scoring at a better pace than Anderson this year with (mostly) 3rd line play. No team would likely consider paying a 3rd liner 5.7 for 2 years, Josh Anderson at 5.5x4 certainly isn’t turning any heads.
