Thread: Jets get better and get pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>I truly believe that Anderson needs to be traded man. He isn't helping the team. Ylonen could be such a good player too and no one would know if he doesn't get the shot. With a rebuild I understand keeping young assets and 1sts but again it's likely a late 1st in 2025 to get 5.5m cap and it's no guarantee the pick is anything. The part most mtl fans forget is looking at the draft history of their picks later isn't exactly the best they can do. So trading a pick that they can use the cap to sign someone that helps right away should be explored</div></div>

He is not playing badly at all.

Anderson plays north-south and south-north. That's pretty much it. The problem right now is Martin St-Louis wants his players to get positioned where the puck will be going next. Sometimes it's north. Sometimes it's east, or west, or north-east-east. Anderson is north-south and he's a bullet train with grit. He's scoreless but he creates time and space for his teammates. He would thrive with any team that plays the good old Canadian hockey style. Bring back the 1975 Broad Street Bullies and he's your guy.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>Mtl should at least call around teams at the cost to dump as letting it go to far can really set a team back. No disrespect to Anderson but trading him away to whatever team for what it costs would be good for mtl and for Anderson to regain himself on a new team</div></div>

Montreal has a more urgent problem to solve, like finding a new home for Jake Allen

Anderson is not an issue at all. He's been unlucky, he's been scoreless for 20 games, and because of that he holds his stick a bit to tight in his hands -- a typical slump -- but other than that he didn't play badly at all. Anderson is clearly not a problem for Montreal, even though we would prefer to see him thrive and being rewarded for his effort and intensity.
