Value of: Anderson

Yeah well probably the whole team wants out when you have a nutter running the show,but take it easy

Well the only team who could consider him just signed Robin Lehner. Only way he’s getting traded IMO is if a goalie gets injured, and their backup isn’t good.

I don't think Anderson goes anywhere. I don't think Ottawa can lose that many trades in one off season. I can see him being a mid season/trade deadline bait when other goalies don't work out.

take this from a fan of a team that clung to the middle for way too long - commit to the rebuild, get the best futures package for your valuable roster players and ice a team of low-commitment UFA's to shelter the kids from the fire, and be bad for a short period of time rather than around the bubble for a long period of time. It's way less painful that way

He will probably fetch a 3rd at the trade deadline from a bubble team. His contract makes it difficult for him to be moved.
I think he moves, he made it very clear that he wants to leave, he won't go for much mainly because of his age.

And goalies just aren't that valuable in today's NHL. Especially inconsistent ones, Anderson always has a good year and a then a worse year Then rebounds back to a good year. Never put two seasons of back to back improvement. Which is okay since last year was awful hes bound to be over .920 this year.
Man, whatever happened to Allen?
I remember how highly touted he was in 2010-2012.

No idea, but you’re the one who seems to want Anderson. I’m not into trading him for Greiss. No interest in a Greiss/Condon combo for the next two years.

I doubt you get value for him at his cap hit because no team really needs an older starting goalie.

That's not exactly an upgrade. Only benefit from our end is contract length and allowing Husso a path. I would imagine this is Jakes final shot. I would hope anyways.
If the guy could track a puck or stay positionally sound he'd be a phenomenal goalie. He's just so damn floppy in between the pipes.

I think Anderson is better, you guys are capable of playing better in front of him compared to Ottawa last year. Anderson could platoon a bit more with Husso, good mentor etc. 1 less year.
Melnyk saves money on getting Allen and a bit younger.
I can see why both sides might not be keen on it but I can see why they would do it too.

Honestly he doesn't have a lot of value, with how much he is making, being 37 and coming off a pretty bad season. Maybe a 5th-7th, although I doubt many are calling. Maybe they could include him in another trade to dump him, but they are getting close to the floor anyways, so someone has to make the money that gets them there.

A Griess for Anderson swap saves Melnyk (sp) almost $3m. That is the something significant.
