Confirmed with Link: Anderson traded for Domi (UPD: signed, 2 yrs, $5.3m/yr)

[flyerslducks]

I will say, I think Josh Anderson can and will be a really special player, but for what the Jackets have and need, he was just a little too redundant for the franchise.

ya i think this makes sense for you guys. Anderson is a beast when he is healthy but you guys do have a ton of bruisers already. He might be better than some on your team when he is healthy but you gotta give to get. I think domi will be a nice addition of skill to the lineup. He can also get under opponents skin and play fast. Nice 2c behind dubois!

 

[Yoshidas Island]

Just realized we got, not gave away the pick. Certainly Jarmo got the better value.

That said, what is Domi's ask? Bet the salary difference between the two going into next season is why the Habs had to add.

Not meaning to invade, but the expectation is he's asking for at least $6M, if not more

 

[GoJackets1]

Come on guys, we got a legit young 2C who has already scored 70+ points in his career without losing any of our big three and 1st

Oh believe me, I'm not upset about what we got at all. Just disappointed that the Anderson situation ever got to this point.

 

[ViD]

Now if Jarmo can get Laine without giving up Werenski I’ll never say a bad thing about him again.

I think we can now realistically look into Gaudreau trade, Laine will be too expensive

 

[ViD]

Also, I think this almost guarantees that Wennberg will be bought out

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

I really wanted to keep Anderson (he's Tom Wilson good when healthy), but Domi really shores up that center position, so I'm ok with the trade. 3rd rounder cements the deal.

It was my first thought. Getting another pick and having a surplus in goal and defense? I'd do it at this point.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Excellent trade. Got the better player and somehow a pick to go with it.

 

[JacketsDavid]

I liked Anderson when he was healthy.
Last year not only was he hurt, but the relationship w the CBJ was damaged. Again not sure who to blame.
As others mentioned Domi needs signed as well, but he gives us a nice option as #2C.
Throw in a 3rd round pick and I generally like it.

Again I wish Anderson luck. When healthy he was a beast.

 

[Cowumbus]

Thing is CAN Domi play Centre? We will see.

Who though? I don’t want to give up guys on ELCs.

 

[Fig]

Of course Domi to be the first trade to make all the dominoes fall

I don't get why Montreal sent the pick.

 

[Socks]

Am at work and just scanning through. Am I reading right that Domi’s yet unsigned?

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Thing is CAN Domi play Centre? We will see.

He was primarily a center 2 years ago when he had 70 points.

Thing is, does he (Domi) have Ferris as his agent. Unfortunately that may matter sooner than later.

 

[MoeBartoli]

This probably confirms contract negotiations with Andy were not going well so I’m glad Jarmo moved ahead with a deal that makes sense. Getting a 3rd was sweet. Andy has the higher ceiling but lower floor so who knows how it will work for The Habs.

I don't think it'll be much of a problem. The Habs had a center logjam of sorts, while Domi is pretty firmly going to be our 2 center. Shouldnt' have any problem paying him.

 

[We Want Ten]

I'll certainly miss BJA, but I'm looking forward to the future.

Seems like Jarmo got the better of the deal, if there is a better to be had.

 

[Viqsi]

YES YES YES YES YES YES f*** YES OMG YES

The thirty-fifth thread is VINDICATION.

I am on such a high right now it is SO AMAZING.

 

[We Want Ten]

OK.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I think this a great deal. Domi is a good return. Thought Andy would go in a multi player deal but this can work for us

 

[Toe Pick]

Now if Jarmo can get Laine without giving up Werenski I’ll never say a bad thing about him again.

Would love that too but I think our most realistic target will be Gaudreau for at a minimum D + goalie which I would also love.

EDIT: I'm now seeing that VID made the same point so sorry for redundancy!

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

I'll also say, if Domi can help make the powerplay not suck, then this trade is totally worth it.

 

[CAR3YPR1CE]

Enjoy Ribiero, I mean, Galchenyuk, I mean Domi.

Looking forward to Anderson balancing out our roster.

This trade will ultimately be decided by the contract that Domi receives. Cross your fingers. You may just have another Wennberg with a temper on your hands.

 

[thebus88]

Love Jarmo and this trade.

CBJ type player and the more skilled player.

I’m sure Jeff and Jody already have the interviews with papa Domi set up?
