Proposal: Habs wheeling and dealing at deadline

[Voight]

That's why is said REPORTEDLY. Regardless. Both HUghes and MSL have publicly stated how much they like what Anderson brings to the team .

Probably because they know they can't trade him without heavy retention.

If you say so

Retention, but not as heavy that you might think.

Habs fans love repeating this, but the only source is a tweet from Hughes pal LeBrun.

Lebrun was a shill for Bergevin............not Hughes.

Hughes gives nothing out........

Just taking up a slot for 3 years is a major pain, though. It removes a lot of flexibility for future deals, and the Habs have a slot already taken until summer '25.

If they use their 3d slot, I expect it'll be on someone like Dvorak, Allen or Savard: someone with a little term, but not 3 years.(expiring contracts could always be dealt through a 3d team to get retention, if Montreal runs out of slots)

Lol all of the insiders are shills for everyone. That's how they get their info.

Anderson makes 5.5 million against the cap. Given how awful he's been this year (and in general, teams don't want commit that kind of cap space to a guy who's never scored 30 goals or 50 points). Good luck moving him without heavy retention.

Wasn't my point..........................sorry you missed it.

Again, Lebrun WAS a shill for Bergevin.................NOT Hughes....................big difference.

Cheers....

J. Allen for I. Samsonov + 2nd.

Leafs badly need someone reliable to go with Woll.

I think his value is very high for Montreal. He can eat a lot of minutes and cover the development of young Ds. He is local guy for Quebec which adds slight premium. I think one more year and he will be traded once Guhle, Struble, Xhekaj and Hutson are ready to step up on the left side of D.

Going to be hard for Montreal to part with Matheson. But the return will be huge. It's difficult decision
