Again, I’m just spitballing.....
If I’m Jarmo and I think I have a #2 center in either Foudy, Texier, or over in Russia, I may not want Domi long term. I may want to move him along and make room.
But if I don’t have a #2 in development and Domi just loves playing for Torts, then I have the ability to re-make my deal in 12 to 18 months.
Anderson gets 7 years and $38.5 million from Montreal. Thank god Jarmo didn’t do that.
Well, let me be the first one in here to say. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Congrats you guys. You not only hosed the Habs in this trade but so did Anderson. Took MB to the cleaners with his contract.

Many laughs on several angles. Montreal fans were all hyped about the fact the trade would save several million/year with Anderson. Wrong! No way A GM should have signed him long term based on the shoulder questions. (Glad this deal is with the Habs and not us.) Those Hab fans blasting the $5.3M for Domi May need to eat crow (Hey, maybe Bus is grilling them now).
As a Leafs fan, I remember the atrocity that was the David Clarkson signing. Atleast in our case we had to overpay because he was a UFA and we were bidding on him. MB happily went over to Anderson and bent over.
I believe I called it. Tax savings and not having an idiot GM played in to heavily favor the Jackets in this trade.

I'm not the biggest of Anderson fans but I don't think that deal is terrible.
He is big, fast, and should be good for 20+ goals a season now that his shoulder is fixed.
It's an overpay but not a big one. Plus, the old boys club always goes crazy over big Canadian guys who can score.

That's such a gamble by the Habs. The money is fine but for a player like Anderson the term is always the question mark. How much did the injury screw up his game? Only time will tell. Bergevin is clearly banking on him being a regular 25-30 goals scorer so if that pans out it will be a steal, but who knows what the future holds?
At the end of the day I'd rather lose Domi in two years than risk Anderson becoming the next David Clarkson.

I won’t say that Anderson is a bad player and that you don’t need those types of players to win games. The CBJ already have those types of players that are just as good or better offensively.
Anderson IS a unique player. Good combo of speed/skating for a bigger guy, and he has good offensive skills for a guy his size. He HAS the ability to play a strong two way game, but IMO, he is less effective when he plays an offensive style. In his 1 big offensive year, much of his offensive production came from playing an overly aggressive offensive game , almost “cherry-picking” at times. There is a difference between effectiveness and offensive production.
Not that he doesn’t crash and bang around the net enough or “a lot”, but he definitely shy’s away from it at times for whatever reason, and I don’t think it’s the injuries.
Maybe he goes back to commit to playing a strong 2 way game, as he got his financial security from “showing his potential” from playing a style and role that was set up for him to succeed statistically, and good for him and MTL, but, the CBJ got the much more skilled player, 1 that can be worth his cap hit to the team.

I suggested he’s looking for 5.5 minimum earlier today on Twitter and immediately got balked at by Habs fans..
He signs and I see I’ve been blocked by a few of them

On the one hand I’m a big Andy fan and love what he brings to the game when healthy which, by all accounts, he will be come the start of next season. But on the other I can see him wearing down early ala Dubi given his style of play and the Habs seriously regretting this contract.
I haven’t loved Jarmo this much since seeing how much term and money Florida gave Bob. He learned his lesson with Fligs/Dubi/Wenny on term. Only give it to the special players, not the replaceable ones.

Lol, this showed up on page 1 of the Anderson signing thread in the Montreal forum:
That video is gold.
