<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>The big problem is the cap hit/term. Every team that has cap room to add Anderson is probably not a team that's looking for a veteran guy like him, and every team that could get value out of him doesn't have room under the cap for him. I don't think he's a bum, but I think the fact that his cap hit limits his market is going to also limit his return. I think the way for Montreal to maximize their return on an Anderson trade would be to take back a bad contract - the problem is there's just not a ton of them in <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/active?stats-season=2023&amp;limits=caphit-4500000-6500000,length-4-15">the $4.5-6.5M range</a> that either a: have more than this year in term or b: isn't already in Montreal.</div></div>
I totally agree! And it’s more of a what direction that they want to take. If it’s a rebuild we could take a bad contract. Probably more of a draft day move than a mid-season/trade deadline move

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Calgary's pipeline is pretty top-heavy, and these three forwards are probably their best assets. Coronato was picked #13OA in the 2021 draft, so I think he's too high-value to be traded for Josh Anderson. Jakub Pelletier and Connor Zary are both PPG players in the AHL who are close to NHL ready - that plus the fact that they're still on their ELCs would make them insanely valuable to a team as capped-out as the Flames are. Poirier has looked very good in his first taste of pro action so while I think the Flames would put a high value on him, he's probably the most attainable of these 4.

I will argue that even if you ignore the cap, I don't think Anderson is a great fit on the Flames - I don't know if you'd consider him anything more than a 3rd liner on this team - who does he push out of the Top 6? Mayyyyybe Dillon Dube?</div></div>

I agree. I don’t think any team should go for him. I heard New Jersey is interested, but I doubt that
