I called it earlier this year. Anderson has the potential to be another René Bourque and that 7 year contract will hurt the Habs in the long run. Anderson does hit though and plays nasty. He's overall better than Bourque. With the right players, Anderson could thrive.Not impressed with Anderson especially at his salary... he should of been 4 mill max... He is a 30 to 40 point player that's it..
Don’t see how anyone can hate on Anderson, dude is a thoroughbred. The rush where he sent the defender into Campbell, the setup to KK, the numerous scoring chances, the big hits, putting Simmonds on his ass...
Hating on Anderson is proof some of you aren’t actually watching the games.

Anderson is a 20-25G /40-pts player, combined w size + speed component.Dude needs to show up more. 13 points in the last 38 games.

He's a great third liner at most. Perfect shutdown guy that plays nasty. Unfortunately, his status in Montreal was elevated by many fans and the organization when he was given way too much term, that basically confirmed his status on the top 6 with unrealistic expectations. Unfortunately, he is not as talented to merit that multi-year deal. Time will tell if he can truly be a 40 goal scorer or a perfect defensive third line winger who was overhyped.Anderson is a 20-25G /40-pts player, combined w size + speed component.
Not sure what people are expecting
He's not talented enough, he misses chances after chances... 40 points/season is not good enough for that contract at that length. He's strong, he's fast, he hits hard... That's not the problem.
Trying is not enough, we want results.
Seriously? Ripping on Anderson? Wake up guys. He’s one of the few guys who’s showed up to play every game and makes his own chances. He’s never been a pure finisher, but he goes out there and sets the tone physically, and creates his own chances and space for his teammates. This team wouldn’t be in a playoff spot without Anderson, he’s been a leader all year. If he had a Center that could produce offensively, he’d have better numbers. Kotkaniemi and Danault aren’t exactly elite playmakers or point producers.
Please...
We are not hating on him , he brings good stuff but he needs to produce moreDon’t see how anyone can hate on Anderson, dude is a thoroughbred. The rush where he sent the defender into Campbell, the setup to KK, the numerous scoring chances, the big hits, putting Simmonds on his ass...

No its more relative to his strong start and massive cooldown. I was concerned about his injuries taking a toll before the season started. That doesn't seem to be a problem. Long term the contract won't be good. But hopefully he plays well enough anyway. We hoped he would be what we got from Toffi for points. He is still creating space, but his passing is OK at best. Its not a hate, just an examination of what is on the table.Don’t see how anyone can hate on Anderson, dude is a thoroughbred.

Well before the season a section of this board had him as a 35 goal monster that could punch and cross check his way through opponents. Some of us had realistic expectations and thought MAYBE we wait a season to how he plays. You know, the same people that if you thought he might be only a 40 point player called you a debbie downer or a negative nancy. Mostly just to defend MB because everyone who "hates" this trades is only doing so because they hate MB for NOOOOO reason.Anderson is a 20-25G /40-pts player, combined w size + speed component.

I only wish our other players created as many chances as him.He's not talented enough, he misses chances after chances... 40 points/season is not good enough for that contract at that length. He's strong, he's fast, he hits hard... That's not the problem.

Wait till the playoffs guys, I guarantee he’ll take his game to another level.
We are the definition of recency bias with how quickly we turn on our players
