Speculation: CBJ Asks from EDM for Josh Anderson...

[MoistDadBod]

Per Bob Staufer, apparently the ask from Columbus for Anderson is:

1. Ryan Nugent Hopkins AND
2. Edm 1st Round Pick AND
3. Philip Broburg or Evan Bouchard

For Josh Anderson.


CORRECTION: After deciding not to trust twitter and listen to the source myself, the actual suggestion was:

1. Ryan Nugent Hopkins OR
2. Broberg or Bouchard and a 1st round pick

Research! It's really not worth doing basically ever.

Is there a source to that rumored ask?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I don't think this is a rumor. It's just a couple of media guys speculating.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

He would be a good fit for Edmonton, but obviously not at that price.

Something like a 1st and one of those 2 D is more reasonable...and I think Edmonton could afford it.

Imagine J.Anderson on a line with McDavid and Draisaitl!

Bob Staufer on his radio show.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

That's ALL they want for a player with one goal and four points? Or, this is just baseless speculation from unreliable sources.

Right, but what are his expected goals?

Wasn't sure if that was the right tag. Probably should have gone with speculation.

 

[ViD]

That’s a legit offer.

perhaps replace 1st with 2nd or 3rd

 

[FreeMcdavid]

isnt Nuge a ufa this season? dont think he wants to stay in Edmonton.

If i was Edmonton i would do this as long as the 1st round pick is protected, but then again im not very high on Broberg or Bouchard, especially Bouchard.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Josh Anderson isn’t available basically.

 

[Bazeek]

Isn't Stauffer the guy that the Oilers front office has historically used to "float" ideas out into the fanbase? If so this might just be a really hamfisted attempt to manage the Overton Window on trade expectations.

 

[MoistDadBod]

Maybe this is why Jarmo didn't move Bread and Bob last year. Less ballsy attempt at a run with expiring assets and more insane asking price.

He still has one more year after this one.

Not sure, I know he's employed by the team but I don't listen to his show. I've lived on the east cast for decades now.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Josh Anderson is one of my favourite players, but...

 

[Gargyn]

Why are some people saying this is a fair ask? That’s horrible for Edmonton. And I’m definitely no Oilers fan.

 

[FreeMcdavid]

I think Edmonton should definitely trade him for something or else he will walk.

However its a catch 22 because their depth is soooo thin that they desperately need Nuge over the next 1.5 yrs

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Take out rnh and add puljujarvi and cap dump and you can have rakell

 

[snipes]

The funniest thing is Josh Anderson has 4 points this year.

Yes, 4 total points.

 

[North]

That’s a legit offer.

perhaps replace 1st with 2nd or 3rd

And take out Broberg/Bouchard.

Anderson has 25-30 goal scoring potential and can be signed for long. RNH is UFA next season.

replace 1st with 2nd and it’s fair

 

[um]

Sounds like they don't want to trade Anderson.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I suppose it’s less insane than “it would take Draisaitl” but is still pretty f***ing insane

Not at all.
