Please correct me where I am wrong on the small sample size judgement. To use Jake DeBrusk as one example in comparison:
We have more info on Anderson than we do on Jake DeBrusk. 3 full and 2 short seasons for Josh, 2 full for Jake.
Anderson has ~30 pts in his first two full seasons while Jake has over 40. Anderson's best season was last year with 47 pts in 82 games, Jake has been over 40 pts in both his NHL seasons that also included injury games lost.
Post Season:
Anderson has 21 games in the NHL with 3 goals/5 assists/8 pts and zero in total +/-
DeBrusk has 36 games in the NHL with 10 goals/ 9 assists/ 19 pts and a +3 total +/-
Anderson: 0.38 Postseason PPG - Debrusk: 0.52 Postseason PPG
DeBrusk also has him beat in Corsi, Fenwick, and PDO. Though Anderson sees more defensive deployment(50/50) than DeBrusk(67/33). I believe this is due to his being moved up and down the lineup in CBJ while Jake has sewn up the 2LW spot and stayed there.
Please show me what I am missing here. Anderson shows here as a current middle 6 forward with one good year on a stacked team with very disappointing post season stats in the NHL.
With increased ice time and much less talent pool in CBJ Josh will get his chance to prove himself. Given the numbers above I maintain he has yet to do so and trading our two best prospects for a player with these numbers is not a smart move in mid or long term. I'd say better options for 2W will be available during the trade deadline for a cheaper price.
