LeBrun: CBJ likely to trade Josh Anderson

[Viqsi]

Every thread involving Columbus I just know I'm going to see many angry words beside four colourful umbrellas

I suppose it gives me some hope that folks are noticing, even if they're not always getting the point. Beats being ignored.

 

[Viqsi]

Would Columbus do a Connor Brown + trade for Anderson?

Brown isn't the #2C we need, so no - not unless we get into some kind of desperation mode, and that won't be for another year at least.

Anderson is not worth a 2C.

 

[Viqsi]

Anderson is not worth a 2C.

By himself, no. But that's our primary need, and we have no particular desire to sell low on Andy. So we'll package him to get that kind of asset if we can. Otherwise, we gamble on a bounceback.

Columbus fans please help with 411 for information. If anderson signed a make good 1 year deal after 2020. Would be he a ufa after 2021? Determines a whole lot of the value you get back and or risk other team must make in giving Anderson multi year deal after the trade..

He would be. That's a large part of why we don't want to trade him and why the discussions are so consistently problematic - it puts a great deal of risk on anyone possibly acquiring him, and so folks would want to bring the price down accordingly. Given the choice between us assuming that risk in the form of such a reduced trade value return, or just gambling on keeping him ourselves, the latter seems the better bet. We've got steady depth already, after all; we need guys who are special. Having a legit power forward would qualify.

IF Anderson doesn't extend long term and will only sign 1 year deal with new team then you are only getting a 2,3 for Anderson. And if wanted to keep and gamble instead of a 2,3 deal I completely understand.

not up to him, it's up to the GM and if he doesn't view him as a fit anymore. chances are he's moved this summer

Yeah; the gamble is preferred to that kind of return. If we wanted picks, we'd offer other depth guys - particularly on the blueline.

He's absolutely a fit in terms of on-ice personnel; that hasn't changed. The only concern is whether or not his agent insists on being an asshole.

I'll take a swing at this (especially since I think the E Kane return is the approx value so I've not stake in a 1-1 trade).

I'd probably look at someone like Iafollo (year older, slightly less production totals prior to Andy's lost season but a position of need). I feel like I want to say JPG, but at the end of the day Andy does still have an RFA year vs a UFA.

Not an easy task when trying to factor team needs for the CBJ and a prospective partner in. CBJ doesn't really need another RW or D, or G. C is the real need or a LW improvement. Likely need someone in the mid 20s to have a similar contract situation or else you end up with a younger palyer than performs less or an older player about to see a drop in production. It's a lot easier to go for that Kane return or to add Andy to a package (but NOT like that one proposed in another thread with Savard and Vornokov for Marner); maybe Andy + pick for Domi.

That pick better be your unprotected 1st or get lost.

 

[ole ole]

Stop right there. The point is that there are no Jackets fans who want to have that conversation anymore, because we've reiterated our position on the matter over and over and over and over and over and people still refuse to listen.


In the last four months...

1. Proposal: - Nylander,Johnsson,Robertson,Bracco to CBJ (borderline, since Andy is a throw-in rather than the centerpiece)
2. Proposal: - Montreal & Columbus
3. Value of: - Toronto Maple Leafs are too soft - need a Tom Wilson/Josh Anderson/Patric Hornqvist type player
4. Value of: - Josh Anderson to BOS
5. Value of: - Josh Anderson - Columbus
6. Value of: - Bruins RW need
7. Proposal: - Tor & Cbj
8. Speculation: - Josh Anderson is on pace for 10 points, time for a change of scenery?
9. Proposal: - CGY/DET or CGY/CBJ
10. Proposal: - EDM - CBJ
11. Proposal: - Leafs-Jackets (not in the OP, but the thread got hijacked by Andy talk shortly thereafter)
12. Proposal: - CBJ - TOR (ditto above re: hijacked by Andy talk)
13. Proposal: - J. Anderson for Jankowski
14. Proposal: - Nick Foligno and Josh Anderson to the Sabres
15. Proposal: - Columbus - Rangers
16. Speculation: - CBJ Asks from EDM for Josh Anderson...
17. Value of: - Josh Anderson
18. Proposal: - Sam Bennett for Josh Anderson
19. Proposal: - Habs & Columbus
20. Proposal: - Mtl/Clb
21. Value of: - Josh Anderson (CBJ) To Vancouver
22. ...and now this thread.

Saying "every fanbase gets bad offers" with regard to Anderson this season is like telling a cancer patient that everybody gets health problems now and again. Trade proposals for Rick f***ing Nash did not receive this level of obsessive persistence.

Proposal 2 was someone offering Bryon and the Habs 1st rd pick.Disgusting for the Habs.
Proposal 19 was made by the same poster that made that awful #2 proposal .

There have been plenty of "bad for/undesired by both sides" suggestions throughout this saga.

Who's his agent? and yea I guess so, but I cant imagine he's gnna ask for too much. does he even deserve a raise after this season?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Fair enough.

You got that right.All sides.

Darren Ferris. You may remember him from the Mitch Marner negotiations.

And he'd probably get a raise based on last season alone. He's got a $1.85m AAV.

 

[Papa Francouz]

I'd love Anderson on the Avs, but I don't see a trade being there if CBJ is dead-set on getting a 2C in return. And as much faith as Sakic has shown in Jost over his short career so far, I doubt Joe would send Kadri to CBJ.

If you guys decide to do something based around futures, though, Sakic should be able to offer a decently attractive package. I just know Bednar will be banging on Joe's door to trade for Anderson if he does become available.

yeah, it’s the agents fault

 

[cslebn]

Hmmm no

Maybe your unprotected 1st.

 

[Shnooks]

Apparently Buffalo was close to getting Anderson...I'd bet on it happening at the draft.

 

[Spacehabs]

As a Habs fan I would give nothing more than a late second round from STL and a third. Maybe CBJ want to recoup some draft capital if not it's too much of a risk in my eyes.

If we are to move him bc he wont re-sign, and a pkg for a 2C isnt able to, yeah 2 2nds, a 2& early 3...probably would be it...but those are if we are unable to keep him...

...and that's a decision that's likely not going to be made until around this time next year.

 

[Xoggz22]

lol no Kapanen for Anderson but you want RNH....

for your guy with 1 goal this year?

good luck with that. nice to see he is still superoverrated. 3rd line banger. nothing more nothing less

Clueless, nothing more, nothing less
