Player Discussion Josh Anderson

[Mrb1p]

Bad value, but I like the player. He's gonna be good for the Habs, I see him with Kotkaniemi terrifying opposing defenses. Slap on a skilled shooter on the other side and we have a first line (Tatar ?).

Tatar-Kotkaniemi-Anderson
Drouin (Ew.)-Suzuki-Gallagher

 

[angusyoung]

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

He's a harder worker than Laine and less of a defensive liability.

Drouin (Ew.)-Suzuki-Gallagher

Basically my take. Reminds me of Subban for Weber and Galchenyuk for Domi. We should have got a plus regardless of hindsight benefitting us.

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.

Finally , we get a player that can put empty net goals . A first since Maxpac was traded

 

[Deebs]

I've been waiting for a player like this on our team for years. Big, physical, can skate, can score... I'm a happy man today.

JA is working out with Gary Roberts and he's going to be in peak condition coming training camp. Excited

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Not sure why people are bashing Josh Anderson.
He’s actually what we desperately need.
A prototype power forward who can skate score and fight.

you need to give something to get something.

This is a good take.

Mike Hoffman could fulfill that role

 

[overlords]

He's made Chara the Slovak wrestling eugenics experiment pull out his patented 'oh wait I forgot how to balance' move, so that's kinda neat.

Not true, Domi was an expert too. Remember in 17-18 where he scored half of his goals as empty netters!

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Armia definitely has more skill.

I doubt that and I hope it's not true.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

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

Actually less skilled, but significantly faster.

 

[Vachon23]

Actually less skilled, but significantly faster.

And he is a better finisher

 

[Mrb1p]

Mike Hoffman could fulfill that role

I don't like Hoffman, but if they get rid of Drouin, he'd be a good player to fill in. 3-4 year contract, Id be good.

 

[26Mats]

This is a good take.

While I agree with this, Anderson still has to be healthy, not the 1g and 3a in 26 games player he was last year...

 

[Redux91]

Love that speed

Thats why im so glad his "MAJOR" injury wasnt lower body

 

[Habs]

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

He's Armia with testicles and isn't afraid of his shadow.

 

[Wats]

Wonder how his production was without Panarin.

 

[crosbyshow]

I see him with Suzuki and Drouin. It could be deadly!

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

He’s a player we needed and I wanted just would’ve expected CBJ to add not us. Both players value was low but somehow our GM paid the premium

 

[Legend123]

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.

Highlights are just.... highlights

Bigtime, all he needs to do is not drive drunk and crash coming off a highway and break his leg and go into rehab...

 

[417]

While I agree with this, Anderson still has to be healthy, not the 1g and 3a in 26 games player he was last year...

He was ready to play this year if CBJ had gotten past 1st round.

It's a shoulder injury, hardly debilitating.

He's 100% healthy and ready to go and will have had ample time to build strength in that shoulder before next puck drop

 

[Revansky]

Highlights are just.... highlights

If only someone can make a video compilation of all his worst plays...

 

[Vachon23]

Wonder how his production was without Panarin.

He wasn't playing with Panarin tough. Look at his goal you won't see alote of Panarin around
