Quoting: snaper3819
He has a career 14 points in 44 playoff games. And you are right, he is a defensive liability. I watched every game in the habs run, he had great 10 minute segements where he looked unstoppable but that seemed to be once every 3 games and other than that he has invisible. It was Suzuki and Caufield carrying the habs offence.
I don't know where you read Dubas made offers for Anderson, maybe inquired but probably hung up the phone if they wanted a return like you are proposing.
And the end of the day there may be a GM that takes a shot on him, but more than likley the return will be underwhelming due to his lack of consistency and cap hit.
Clearly not as you missed the fact that in general he shows up vs TML
I mean is he making Marner money ? No
Hence us not expecting that much from him
He's Colemen with a 750k bump in salary and he's done just about as much in a similar role
What you'll notice here is Andersons Best games are vs Tough Teams who play Physical
His worst are vs less teams with more Defense Based Systems
Come playoffs his 4 hit a game average with 5 goals and 2 GWG including
1 GWG was from a 2 goal night vs TBL in our only win to avoid getting Swept.
When everyone else was deflated and injured with the effects starting to show as the Adrenaline was dying off
It was Anderson who was refusing to give in to the point Toffoli was Demoted from 1st line and Anderson Promoted.
In TML he did what he was asked, Got into Marners his old Linemates head and lived there. Marner was useless that run to the point i think Byron scored more lol
So you say he wasnt a Factor , i say tell his buddy Marner that as he was all over him like a fat kid on cake while Gally/Danault 2v1 Matthews after we demoted then benched Tatar by game 5
