If Treliving gives up multiple top assets for Anderson, he should be fired

He said that Calgary previously inquired about Anderson. There's no rumor that Anderson is going to Calgary now.
Shocked that the habs turned down a first. Wonder if there was heavy retention or if it was riddled with conditions.

If it’s true Montreal turned down a #1 recently for him, can’t see the Flames offering more than that.
This is the same story from Dreger that the Habs asking price is basically too high. I don't get why GMs like Anderson at all. 50% retention for a 2nd and I get it lol.
I might actually stop following the Flames if they gave up anything of value for Anderson. His contract should take a couple first to dump as is.

The Habs are basically 100% powered by wishful thinking at this point.
Aging power forward with a history of injury issues that’s really only good at one thing and carrying a cap hit of 5.5 until 2027… you’d be dumb not to give up a first round pick for him!!

What a ridiculous assertion. Josh Anderson is a far better hockey player than he's typically given credit for on here, but this is about as bad of a take on him as I've seen.

Treliving been after Anderson. Sounds like Hughes seeing how high he goes. Hope turns into another Chiarot trade at deadline
Spring in Fialta
A malign star kept him
5.5 million for another 4 years, his career average is .44ppg, and his best season was 4 years ago. It is a bad contract.
Maybe Speculation?
I think either way, people would click the thread and discuss the premise the same way.
Sounds like Dreger is playing mouthpiece for either Treliving or Hughes.

The Nuge
Some say…
Maybe not a couple firsts, but I have to question the sanity of any GM who would willingly take on that contract. I’d value him at about a single first round pick of negative value if there isn’t retention.
I don’t think he’s underrated at all. It’s not the player people don’t want. It’s the contract. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone say they wouldn’t want him if Montreal got his caphit down to a more reasonable range.

I find it funny how other fans get there panties in a bunch when it comes to Anderson. Yes I know Anderson isn't worth crap too lol.

He's worth 5.5m. Why do people act like this is some insane number?
I disagree he takes a 1st to get rid of. Honestly unless the Habs are getting a 1st+ back I have zero interest in moving him.
This is one of the biggest gaps between what I think a players value is and what the HF consensus seems to be. But I don't think I'm wrong. I hope he gets moved just so we can see who's got his value closer.

here we go again...naysayers downselling a Habs player at TDL. He will get a 1st + and there will be no retention. Deal with it.

I’ve never seen a worse player on a worse contract get brought up in trades so often. No one wants him.

I think the Canadiens should absolutely not trade Josh Anderson.
Luckily Darren Dreger is, for the most part, a fool, so I doubt there's any truth to this.
