Thread: Zegras Since the Rumors Be Rolling Neither Side Should Do This
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_trade_churner_50</b></div><div>You really seem to be betting against him. Which is fine, but he is a very serviceable 3rd liner.

But if you need on-ice evidence, here it is, since he entered the league and played his first full season:

2016-2017: 17 goals
2017-2018: 19 goals
2018-2019: 27 goals
2019-2020: 1 goal (Serious Injury)
2020-2021: 17 goals (Shortened Season, 56 games))
2021-2022: 19 goals
2022-2023: 21 goals
2023-2024: 9 goals

Out of 8 'full' seasons he has played, he has scored more than 17 goals in 6 of those seasons. (one of those seasons he only played 26 games)
6/7 = above an 85% he scored 17 goals in that season.
To say you know, he won't average 17 goals over the next three seasons, is quite a claim.
(On a side note: I am rooting for the Jets this play-off. I think Josh Anderson on the third line, if he uses his size, which he can, would be a big addition to get the Jets to win the cup.)</div></div>

Yeah, I understand trying to make him look good in the hopes that someone bites, but claiming that he's going to continue a goal pace he's had trouble reaching until he's 33 when you can clearly see he's regressed that last few years and almost certainly will continue to regress due to age, is wishful thinking. 25 points is about the max you can hope for.

The Jets 3rd line is their checking line and has been excellent this year, so I wouldn't mess with it to force in a player that isn't a clear upgrade on anyone on that 3td line. He isn't a top sixer, so the 4th line is the only place for him and there are more economical options for that.

Anyways, we're off topic here, so we should probably get back to the actual ACGM, than worry too much about Anderson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_trade_churner_50</b></div><div>If Verbeek likes heavy hitting, power forwards, this is not a dump, especially at almost 50% retained. I agree Montreal is better off not moving Anderson at any retention to begin with.


(Also the other extreme offer is here: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/826037?post_id=4846651)

(Just trying to find any common ground. Lol.) Would you take on Josh Anderson's contract to the Winnipeg Jet's at 50% retained if you knew he could score 50 goals over the next three seasons?</div></div>

He's not a heavy hitter though from what I've seen and from what most Montreal fans say. He doesn't really use his size much at all.

I'd say no to Anderson at any retention level, you can find 4th liners that provide what he does at close to league minimum and we know he's not going to average 17 goals/season over the next 3 years and will likely only put up about 25 pts/season. Considering he's only done that twice in his career and will be 30 next season.
