Still shocked at just how fast he is. For such a big body he just glides on the ice

The way he gathers steam on the wing, and then drives to the net reminds me alot or Erik Cole.
Anderson has a bigger mean streak though, and he provides a glimpse of why Rene Bourque often made you feel like he had more to offer.

I was fine with the trade. The contract made my butthole pucker up though.
I'd like us to pick up Zach Hyman instead.
Imagine a team with Kreider and Anderson on the wings. Two big guys with skill and speed. Would be unfair.

I haven't seen much of him since his OHL days but I can't get over how fast he is. At some point I hope they put Byron on that line just to see the 2 fastest players on the team on one line.

Lol. I was lucky to go on a ski trip to Japan a couple years ago, the bullet trains are so cool, such a good way to travel. And a stark reminder of how far behind we are on infrastructure in Canada.

And if we made a trade for Alex Tuch when Vegas was looking to dump salary.

They probably didn't want to trade him, if so if it wasn't us an other team would have grab him

the big difference between Cole and Anderson is that we had Cole at the end of career (33) and Anderson at the start of his prime (26)

We got the better player in each trade and Anderson is the same age as Chucky. Imagine... Oilers still stuck with Puljuarvi who was 4th OA. We can focus on the Drouin/Sergachev flip but Bergevin's trades are unreal when you look at how many trades he has made and how they all end up as a whole.

100%! Picking up Anderson after his injury season and at the age of 26 is a great move! If Anderson did not have an injury season derailing his trade value, we would have not been able to use Domi to get him.

He was put in a poor position by the team to succeed (both in terms of wearing the C and having a poor team around him). He should never have been made a focal point of the offense or team as he's just not that type of player. He needs quality players to feed off of to really succeed rather than being the main guy on his line. Throw in the added pressure of being captain in Montreal and its clear he wasn't put in the best position to succeed.

That says it all, really. A nice assortment of attributes and skills between all 3 linemates, and a sound strategy to get things going.

If he keeps playing the same way as the first two games, his contract is going to be a bargain now and in the near future !
