Confirmed with Link: Anderson to Habs for Domi and a 3rd II

[mariolemieux66]

Everyone thought the Goodrow and Coleman trades were brutal for TB too...you need these types of guys in the playoffs.

Sure!
But we are nowhere near as good as Tampa Bay. It's not even sure we make the playoffs this coming season. Tampa won 11 playoffs series in the last 6 years and just won the cup, we won 1 playoffs series in the same time frame.

 

[Habricot]

They were saying on the Radio that Anderson was in great demand... Perhaps not the case for Domi. I dint understand the third but like the trade.. if he is healthy we are a better team.

 

[CHwest]

Not a fan of barginbin, but, Domi fancied himself a centre and was not happy. I don't things were going to change for him. Anderson is a big body that plays big, something we desperately need.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

One thing that I like other than the obvious physical aspect is that Anderson shoots a fair amount and that's without ever having a lot of time on ice. His 230 shots in 18-19 would have been good for 2nd on the team (behind Gallagher) and 27 more than Domi that year.

 

[Habaneros]

I was as pissed as the majority of the members here at first, I've kinda changed my mind a bit. I think Anderson type players avec very rare, he's a Tom Wilson type player, for which I would've sacrificed Domi. Yeah we gave up the most talented player, but I agree that Anderson for us was kind of a must, that is if he comes back to his form of two years ago. I'll give it a chance, I was just disappointed from the point of view that I thought a player like Anderson could've been had for a couple of picks, but hey, apparently a lot of teams wanted him, so let's see what happens.

my position is like when a ref calls a bad penalty on the Habs....and i know there nothing that can be done to change the call...

I'm already moving on..lol

 

[JacketLife]

Jackets fan coming in peace. You guys will love JA IF he can be the player he was before. He plays a style that can be completely derailed by injuries and has injured both shoulders now I believe. But if he can still be physical, he’s an absolute beast who can create goals out of nothing no matter who he plays with.
Anyone claiming he was carried by Panarin in his good season doesn’t watch the Jackets. Anderson played mostly with Boone and Foligno, neither of whom can carry anyone.

So, there are a lot of questions, but I wouldn’t worry until they’re answered.

Question... can Domi play power play?

If he is 100% healthy I wouldn't mind the deal but his injury history scares me big time. He does fit more of a need for us than Domi though...we got much larger IF he can stay in the lineup. If you ask me we STILL haven't addressed a goal scoring need though...it's just another lateral move. MB needs to move our first pick for a scorer.

 

[Habaneros]

It probably was in the sense that they wanted to win the bidding war on Anderson. According to LeBrun, a lot of teams were trying to get Anderson.

I wonder what other teams offered...lol

Remember the year they outbid everyone for Prust

Both shoulders eh? Yikes.

Domi has zero PP presence imo. But maybe he will look better with different teammates.

 

[JimboJay]

I like it. Domi is only a 60 or 70 point guy as centre on 1st or second line- there is no room for him there. I have always liked Anderson, big tough winger who can score. Tom wilson lite and won't cost as much $$ as Domi

There's a legit chance he ends up being better than Wilson going forward. He's already had more goals than him in a season.

I think he will fit in well here. I still would have rather done without that 3rd going the other way but at some point, if you're MB and you really want Anderson & are confident he's the right fit for your team, you dont let a 3rd stand in your way.

Oh yeah this can't be the end I agree, and the next move has to cost us only picks and prospect, MB's next move needs to be one that adds something significant without taking anybody of importance out of the lineup, cause so far yeah, Anderson filled a need, but we used a huge trade chip and we're not scoring that many more goals right now.

 

[K2MyEverest]

I think everybody greatly overreacting as usuel here. When you deal for a player that just came from being injured. That player is evaluated by the teams doctors to make sure he'll be ok. I honestly think Anderson will bring more to the Habs than Domi. Only in terms of attitude Domi sucked and was bad for the team. There was no open spot to make him play with the Habs so good riddance. I could bet that after half a season everyone here will be in love with Anderson.

He can, if Wennberg plays PP for you guys, he'll be an upgrade over him. He can snipe it every now and then but he's more of a playmaker. It's a double edged sword, if his teammates are alert and skilled they'll be able to finish some of his amazing plays. That being said, he could simplify his game at times instead of going for the 1% play.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Key thing being “secondary scoring”. We’ll take it but we NEED primary scoring. We haven’t had primary scoring in years!

Agreed. But adding secondary scoring while also adding size on the wings, I still view it as a good acquisition.

But yes, they still need to add more scoring.

Thanks for the input.

Domi is a bad powerplay player, was in Arizona, was in MTL. Best spot for him is behind the net, but he played most of his time here QB'ing on the half wall, which he absolutely sucks at.

He's a wonderful puck carrier, can playmake off the rush and has strong compete level most of the time. As long as his feet is moving he will make up for his flaws in the defensive end.

He also has a pretty decent shot, but he seems to not trust it.

He should but I won't hold my breath.

'Super excited': Max Domi thrilled by trade to Blue Jackets, move back to center

”It was a super-weird situation. I'd be lying to you if I said I knew what was really going on. There wasn't a lot of communication there. I was just trying to figure out what was going on. I wasn't really told why or what I had to do to work my way up (the lineup), so that's just how the game goes. I'm not the coach... I was put in certain situations and unfortunately, I wasn't able to help the team as much as I'd have liked to.

”It's a learning experience for me... Take that and grow from it. But the best part is it's all behind me now.”

 

[LaP]

It's still "mettre la charrue avant les bœufs" though. Anderson can be a very useful player to a winning team. But he wont transform a losing team into a winning team. As long as MB wont commit this will lead nowhere. He must commit. He painted himself into that corner. He has no choice and he can't wait 4-5 years. Weber and Price are getting older. Both Gallagher and Anderson are not the type of players who keep being good until their mid-30. With their history of injuries you can expect both player to slow down significantly in their early 30ies. Petry is not a young player either.

So Max, are you surprised your pouting tactics weren't "what I had to do to work my way up (the lineup)"???

Exactly, that's one of my gripes with the deal too. It's like when we got Shaw but our team is even older now...

He can, but hard to say how well, because our power play is atrocious.

Overreact on Habs boards, didn’t see that coming!

Disappointed in Max. He checked out all year and then tries to blame the team for it. Unfortunate

It's not like the team missed the playoffs 4 times in the last 5 years right?

 

[LaP]

He's not the first player to check out in the last 5 years though. At one point we will have to look at the management. MB can't keep blaming the players forever. One day it's gonna be on him.
