Thread: I dont totally hate it but
Habs are indeed interested in acquiring Barrie, but not because he’s good. He’s useful to us because 1) he can eat up big minutes to replace Petry as the 1RD 2) he’ll improve the PP 3) he’s a net negative on the team analytically and will help us tank while making the team a bit less depressing to watch. We aren’t giving a 2nd for Barrie whatsoever considering the Oilers don’t have leverage and he isn’t good enough to theoretically warrant that return anyways. In my mind he should either have minimal value (late 3rd-4th rounder) or very slight negative value (Habs get paid a late 3rd/4th rounder to take him). While the Oilers really shouldn’t do this, Hoffman for Barrie would be more likely to go through than Barrie for a 2nd if you’re trading with MTL. Alternatively, he could probably just be a throw in piece in a larger Habs trade (i.e. Puljujarvi or Anderson centered-trade - fyi Anderson for Barrie 1-for-1 ain’t happening, there’s a lot of interest surrounding Anderson and we’ll prob get a first for him).

I haven’t really followed Hoglander last year but I remember really liking him as a prospect. Out of curiosity, what would a Dvorak-Hoglander centered trade look like? What would need to be added?

Thread: Summer
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>"Redemption project"?!? Anthony Beauvillier had the same year Anderson had. And here are some more figures:

A. Beauvillier over the last two years : 122 games, 27 goals, 62 points, 16:50 ToI, 80% of the cap hit of Josh Anderson
Josh Anderson over the last two years : 121 games, 36 goals, 56 points, 17:14 ToI, $5.5 million for 5 years

Plus/minus is a coarse statistic, but Anderson is minus 35 over the last two seasons (-25 last year) while Beauvillier is plus 15 (minus 10 last year).

Note that you're combining two items from "a super reliable insider": (1) that NY might have interest in Anderson, and (2) that NY might be interested in moving the #13 overall selection. You and your fellow Habs fans shouldn't conflate the two and jump to the absurd conclusion that NY would be willing to trade #13 for Anderson.</div></div>

I am not combining two items. He quote tweeted a tweet saying this: “Reports coming in that the #Isles have shown growing interest in #GoHabsGo Josh Anderson and are rumored to be willing to send their 13th overall pick to get a deal done. Losing count as to how many teams have inquired on Anderson. Could be all smoke or maybe...#NHL” and basically confirmed this being true.

I do agree that Beauvillier is better than Anderson, but that doesn’t mean that that’s what NHL GMs think. Points isnt the reason Anderson is perceived as valuable by NHL GMs. Anderson is a rare type of player that boomer GMs absolutely adore as he combines physicality and goal scoring with incredible speed. Because of this, he has a lot of value right now for some stupid reason. He will fetch a surprising haul fs if he’s dealt and I can easily see Lou being the type of GM to do the deal I mentioned above. Just because i’m proposing a mock trade doesn’t mean I think the opposing team should do it. I just think that it’s a deal I can easily see the opposing GM accepting irl in the current market.
