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

[24Cups]

Anderson has had time to heal. He is *better* than Tom Wilson when healthy. This is a very good trade.

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.

Josh Anderson was an ascending player before his injury issues

 

[cave troll]

Im afraid Anderson will give us 20 pts per season.

A lot of people will be surprised about Anderson. He’s an ox.

were not talking about Jacob De Larose here

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

Drouin can do better and Suzuki and KK will do better. Tatar and Gally are producing enough. Armia can do more as well as Byron and Lehkonen. Anderson is a good complement. I prefer to have 9 potential 20+ goal scorers than have all the offense on the shoulders of two or three players.

 

[Adam Michaels]

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.

I also really wanted Anderson. I'm also good with this deal.

Are you serious or just trolling ?

Why is a poster’s opinion that is in disagreement with yours considered “trolling”?

 

[hersky77]

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

Wow according to experts on hfboards. Pretty much all the actual hockey experts are saying this is a good deal for both teams. But who am I to believe hf board posters or people like Lebrun etc...

 

[1909]

Comparing Anderson to Gabriel Bourque is ridiculous, to stay polite.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I have to say it is, it is encouraging to see posters whose opinions I respect being more positive about the deal than I am.

 

[Habby4Life]

Just curious, has anyone said “I’m so done with this team”. It’s my favourite!

 

[azcanuck]

On the surface it's what this team needs. A big power forward in his prime who has decent hands.
BUT the shoulder injury is very worrysome. It's a surgery I dont see very often and makes me very concerned we have damaged goods.

Domi I've soured on. Bad penalties and inconsistent play.

it could work out well if Anderson stays healthy.

Which hockey experts lol?

There's a thread with more than 30 pages where fans of every team ripping us a new one on this trade, and how could it be any different?

Domi is on another tier than Anderson lol

 

[BergevinBurner]

I'm so done with this team.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

Im afraid Anderson will give us 20 pts per season.

Rene Bourque potential.

 

[Kriss E]

We got the skills, but the coaching is atrocious.

We have skills?...lol

 

[HuGo Sham]

amazing to read both our boards and main boards. Domi was hot garbage UNTIL this trade was made. Now, Habs have been taken to the cleaners.
And on these boards, the same people who complained we were too small to get to the f***ing net are now complaining about this. Unbelievable. Give bergevin credit. He accumulated SURPLUS assets to address an organizational need. Yes, it's a gamble. Yes, you can call me out if it goes to shit and unlike many on this website, i'll admit i was wrong

You didn't get the joke, I meant Rene remember him?

 

[TopTenPlayz]

Both players fit massive needs on each team but as of right now, Cbj wins the trade becauseo Domi is a better player than Anderson and has proven more. Now, how much better Domi is than Anderson is what will determine who wins the trade. Just hope somehow Weal gets traded so we get a pick back

 

[cphabs]

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

Informed? We traded a young 70 point center that was turned into a winger, and traded him for a player that is coming of a catastrophic injury that allows him to play his game at 26 years old... I don’t think I, or the other Habs fans, are uninformed while saying otherwise. Thanks for the quasi insult as well!

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This is crazy how much french media finds every single positive thing after every trades Bergevin makes.

Never said that, I can see it.

I completely agree. We desperately need a big skilled winger - until we get one - then the sky is falling because we lost a 3rd round pick. It's actually hilarious to watch

sometimes ya gotta gamble. And i love domi too. I assume bergevin did his due diligence. There are no josh Anderson's available for free, and they're highly difficult to draft
