Anderson and campbell dont really cancel out since the habs have reportedly rejected many offers of a 1st for anderson

Anderson is having his own issues. You have to be able to sell the players belief right now, that these moves are going to make a difference.
Monahan and Montembeault can carry that message but this group needs confidence and Anderson doesn't have it.

You'll also get no value from Montreal for Broberg. Better to move him somewhere that needs LHD where he will have a chance to develop. You may get a similar player in another position (perhaps a 3rd line winger project).

Not getting into value because the trade is flawed at its root for reasons you may not have considered.

They should have taken a first as that contract is looking worse to buyout than Campbell

Oil not sending enough in either trade imo

they should have but the management have said many times that they believe anderson is a key part of the future

Lol dude is 30 years old. He is zero part of the Habs future.

You can keep your $20M dumpster fire.

Both buyouts are practically the same. Anderson at least provides something positive
