Josh Anderson in the top 6 and the state of that defence makes this Habs team more of a lottery contender than a playoff contender.

I like the team’s group of forwards, but this group of dmen is too young to make it worth coughing up all the assets.

I would only make this deal if there was a nother deal to find a defensive dman that can play 25 minutes a night on the right side of Matheson…

AND…

…if we can find a legit #1 goalie.

Tough thing to do with under 2M$ in cap space.

If you’re not doing those 2 things, I’d rather just play out the season and wait for summer’24 to sign PLD as a UFA and keep all those assets.

Josh Anderson's goals tie him with the 4th best scoring on an average team and 5th best scoring on a great team. In this case he would be 6th best.

So, while I appreciate your response, you are wrong.

Well, the Habs are paying dearly for Anderson's scoring with the way he gets outshot, outscored and outchanced. His scoring doesn't make up for that.
Accounting for all that Anderson is a major net negative for the Habs.

Appreciate your perspective sir. You have been heard.

I get that Barron as a #1 RHD doesn't move the needle, but I would say he has a chance to have a big year.

Monty on the other hand... I really liked Monty's season. I think most Habs fans and fans around the league are counting him out, but based on how bad the Habs were last season and how he played in spite of that, he 'could' be a decent #1.

Goaltending and blueline in the toughest division in the league? I doubt it.
