Player Discussion Josh Anderson

[CheldishGamibno]

Welcome to our new Hab; JOSH ANDERSON
6ft3, 220lbs, from Burlington Ontario

Here's his goals from 18-19:

I remember him being dominant against us that year. He's very fast for his size and has a nice wrister.
Excited to watch him play next year when he's free from his shoulder injury.

I like this player. Drives to the net and fights

With the additions of Anderson, Edmunson and Romanov it appears MB is really prioritizing grit and not rolling out the Smurfs on Ice again.

Will definitely be played with Suzuki I’d bet. Wonder if Suzy develops some magic with him a la Ratcliffe when he was in Guelph.

 

[Seb]

So he's like a skilled version of Joel Armia?

 

[DAChampion]

He's a very reasonable choice to play on Suzuki's wing.

[CheldishGamibno]

I think Armia's skills are elite, but the IQ is missing. Anderson is a more intelligent player.

i would say if Armia and Gallagher had a baby it would be someone similar to Anderson.

 

[smirob]

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson?

Armia definitely has more skill.

After watching the highlights I'm realizing that this is a type of player that we were sorely missing. He's going to complement our perimeter players quite nicely.
He's going to help the PP big time.

Yeah I ain't mad at this at all

I BEEN asking for a right winger with size, scoring ability, speed and some aggression.

Yes, he's not going to light the lamp up like Laine but I like that Habs are adding some push back to their lineup.

Something different

Ya fights...that's what is needed, a dying part of the game.

[Seb]

Armia definitely has more skill.

Then why the hell are people putting him on the first line with Suziki?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I'm gonna call him the enforcer

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Armia definitely has more skill.

Armia is impossible to move along the boards
Anderson is also impossible to move along the boards. Unless your Chara

Definitely missing a player like Anderson. I am not a huge fan of the value for the trade itself but I guess he was highly coveted.

 

[admiralcadillac]

My assumption is that hfboards is disappointed because they can’t call the team a bunch of smurfs anymore.

 

[RC51]

for all those that think habs paid too much, MB will sign him to what 4x 4-4.5, Domi will sign 5x 6-6.5. MB needs the money for a BIG SPLASH.
