I'd probably make this deal, can't speak for MTL, but I like it. However the team is most likely unwilling to retain on Anderson's salary due to the amount by the term remaining.

Nice troll post PIT fan boy

Yeah keep dreaming.

yeah but im sure the habs could find a way to manage, for only 2M , and still pay their big boys

Can you?
Im sorry but this post screams "i dont care what MTL needs or NYR want"

They got many guys like Anderson
Also RS over a few months is a 4th to 5th round pick
So why would 4 years cost a 4th ?


If im NYR i have a ton of Andersons and 0 players like Othmann , i just dont see why they would
If they were to though hypothetically why not target Maroon who's ....... Wait a minute ...... You bought out Goodrow to get Anderson ? WTF?

There's your trade Anderson for Goodrow
It clears you about the RS of Anderson at 1.65m - 1.7m average over 8 years you're paying to buyout Goodrow
Include Goodrow and remove the RS and avoid 8 years of paying it off just as MTL avoids 4 years of RS on Anderson


Anderson
Ylonen
MTL's 3rd round pick 69th OA pick in 2023

for

Goodrow
Barbashev (I'd prefer Barbashev and that 2nd become an top 3 protected 1st)
Hughes signing rights(unlikely he signs with any NHL team and is a UFA as of August who's been able to be signed for a week now,its more Symbolic Gesture if nothing else)
Conditional 2nd that becomes a 1st(top 3 protected) if Anderson makes SCF playing 50% or more games with NYR before the draft in 2024.

Why would Montreal do this? If JA is moves it's for a 1st and a prospect.

I like Othmann but rather clear JAs entire salary and get multiple assets, not retain AND give up other assets

For 2.2 million I can almost guarantee you the Hawks offer him 3+ million in an offer sheet and give up a 2nd rounder for him as compensation. The Rangers will need to find a way to offer him over $4,201,489 so the comp is a 1st and a 3rd or they will lose him. Same with K'Andre....Signing both will cost the Rangers a minimum of 8.4M+ combined...You guys are screwed...Shoot, the Hawks could offer sheet them both at 4.2 million and put the Rangers in a bad spot.

You know that Montreal doesn't want to actually move Anderson, right? They aren't going to retain AND add a 2nd for a prospect.

Drury can't say no thanks fast enough and suggests they trade Anderson to the Pens for Geno, Crosby and Letang, all with 50% retention.

You have no idea what you're talking about.
