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

[The Great Weal]

Next lotto number please.

Domi scored 72 points last year and on pace for over 50 this year. 60ish points is a safe bet. Anderson has a career high of 47 points and is coming off a long injury.

 

[Archijerej]

So we got another Armia?

No, not really.

They are both tanacious forecheckers, but Anderson is much more physical. He's also a more explosive skater and a better finisher.

love love this trade. Addresses a need habs have looked for FOREVER - for an asset we have in surplus AND a pick which is irrelevant. You know how i know this is a good trade? bruins , leafs, jets fans ALL triggered. love it

 

[cphabs]

Better used as a power forward...on the wing.
For now, our centre positions are set.

This is ridiculous! We traded a 70 point young gritty center for a goon that is coming off a catastrophic injury... caused by playing his game. while expecting him to play the same style that caused the injury? Anderson is 26 as well! We got f***ed hard

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

This is the move that will hopefully get Bergevin canned this year.

What a f***ing useless GM.

I wish but he obliterated the LD in 2017 and surprise, surprise, is still here. The team still doesn't have a top 4 LD 3 years later.

 

[1909]

It's an even trade. Both players are meeting their new team's needs.

 

[Frank JT]

Someone can explain to me why we add a 3rd round pick? Anderson is an even bigger question mark than Domi. I'm really not convinced 2018-2019 Anderson is what he is made of.

Montreal really wanted Anderson. Montreal is a better team with Anderson (If he stays healty), tougher to play agains't. He's gonna makes everyone's better around him. He could be a great powerforward for us.

 

[sergejean]

Meh. I don't think we'll regret anything to be honest.

Domi didn't want to play wing. Clearly.

Hopefully Anderson returns to health and can contribute as a secondary scoring threat.

They are laughing at us

We have to look at the big picture. Not focus on individual players .

Allen will help Price be more rested while helping to win more games from our backup golaie;
Edmundson will give Petry more freedom to be more offensive, while being a solid shot-blocker and PK,r and addind size to the D;
Anderson will help our small skilled forwards to be more productive;
And I expect MB to sign a big 4th line player to play with Evans and Byron-Lehkonen - No more Weal or AHL player.

Good enough to be in the 6-10 range but not good enough to go deep. Same story last 25 years.

 

[The Great Weal]

Domi lost his C role to Suzuki & KK. He wouldn’t have produced 60-points. With the Habs

Doesnt mean you should gets pantsed on value

 

[salbutera]

Overall don't think it's much of a win even oif AG can't find his ways in the NHL. I mean i hope i'm mistaken and Anderson will surprise me but i've seen him a lot of he always felt like a 3rd line player outside of a couple of games in his 27 goals season that really came out of nowhere but he eas back to normal in playoffs that year. He's certainly a useful player to have in your depth and will cost less than Domi which will help signing everyone this year but don't think it will make the team progress.

I'll say this the team will be better built though. I think this team will be more consistent overall and fight for a playoffs spot but it's still very very far from being a contender unless Suzuki, JK, Romanov and Caufield all reach their absolute ceiling.

The year before 27G he was on pace for 26G until he had a knee on knee collision with a teammate, that made him miss nearly 20GP - he was tied with Panarin for team lead with 18G up to that point (finished season with 19G). First NHL season had 17G.

No, they aren't triggered.
We are the butt of the NHL right now.

 

[Boris Le Tigre]

Glad we got bigger up front!

Enjoy Gabriel Bourque 2.0.

nope. people who actually have informed opinions, love this for the CH

 

[1909]

Dubois, their #1 centerman was unable to reach 50 points this year (of course in 69 games). Torto's style is very tight.

With Dubois, Atkinson, Bjorkstrand and youngsters like Texier and Foudy, I am not sure Domi will see lots of PP time either.

 

[1909]

Are you serious or just trolling ?

 

[Frank JT]

Anderson is a better IQ, faster et more physical than Armia. He will play top6 if healty

 

[The Great Weal]

Might come down to contract demands. If Domi is insistent on 6-7 million while Anderson is happy with closer to 4, it makes more sense.

Would have rathered to get a good 1st back then. I'm also higher on Anderson than most here. I wanted him, but not like this.

 

[salbutera]

Doesnt mean you should gets pantsed on value

MB didn’t.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Good? The barely 22 year old 6’2 210lb extremely mobile D played over 20 minutes a game as a shutdown D while being a critical player for them in the regular season and playoffs. The GM of Tampa has put Sergachev on his must sign list. Think about that as the f***tard Drouin runs around on our top 6 without a care. Anderson for Domi, especially to Columbus, is going to be hilarious as well.

No kidding, BargainBin please stop the destruction.......You are becoming another Peanut.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

We got bigger and more physical, but we still need more offensive talent. I hope bergevin addresses this.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Are you serious or just trolling ?

He has Gabriel Bourque written all over. Let's be realistic. And I meant to say Rene by the way. I sense you didn't get the joke.

A healthy Anderson is a legit top 6 power forward. I thought he was a nice buy Lowe candidate myself, but clearly the value wasn’t low. And clearly Domis value wasn’t as high as we thought either.
