Thread: This is reality Habs fans
Anderson isn’t actually good obviously and he should be worth a 3rd like you said, but theoretical value =/= perceived trade value by NHL GMs. Hughes said that he declined some Anderson trades since he got the GM job, including some at the deadline. That means that there is clearly interest for Anderson across the league and I doubt those GMs were offering a 3rd round pick, as if they really want him they must think he’s good, hence must be offering decent value to get him. He’s probably going to get like a first in value and other fans around the league are gonna be baffled.

It’s just like the Chiarot trade. People on this site kept telling Habs fans that Chiarot won’t get a 1st at the deadline and he ended up getting one. Many Habs fans on here making Anderson trades on AGMs don’t think Anderson is good enough to warrant a first, but they simply think that, in this market, he’ll prob fetch a good return that will surprise many. While many Anderson trades on here are a bit crazy obviously (he’s not getting you a top 10 pick lol), it’s not crazy to claim he’ll get much more than a 3rd, especially since he was acquired for Domi (who was a good 2C back then) + a 3rd after an injury-riddled off year.
