Player Discussion Josh Anderson

[Archijerej]

If he's fully recovered from injuries, then our top two lines should be fine. Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Armia as a 3rd line is not bad either.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

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

if he takes the best of both that's a pretty awesome player

 

[Canadienna]

I wonder what it will cost to keep him. It might be beneficial to risk a long term deal to lower the AAV with the additional leverage from his poor season.

Maybe something like 4m x 6 years? Am I crazy?

 

[Legend123]

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

they'd prb be him just sleeping on skates endlessly

 

[Archijerej]

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson?

Yes.

 

[26Mats]

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

Shoulder surgeries, after head injuries, are the type of injuries that sometimes don't heal and leave one vulnerable to repeated injuries.

If this is not the case with this injury, I like the move. If it's not, I don't. We'll see.

Ive always told people tho, you could make a 10 minute video of Patrick Roys worse ever plays too and people would think he was the worst goalie who ever lived, and nowhere near where people hold him in the all time rankings

It goes both ways, and context for sure matters

What the guy was trying to say was at least he got some kind of a GOOD look at him, some hightlights arent JUST about the puck going into the net

What Anderson brings, we didnt have
What Domi brought, is replaced AND upgraded by Suzuki.

Its a gamble you have to make

Yeah I've been saying this as well. It might not be the kind of thing that forces retirement, but it's definitely one of the more difficult injuries to deal with.

It's also the main point of contact, which is why I worry that he might not play that same way he did before.

None of this is known and it is all speculation, but so is saying he is 100% and will be just fine after he wasn't even capable of playing after 8.5 months.

That would be a dream, but odds are he gets 5 M

The great news is a 6 year deal would take him to age 32-33 , the perfect walk away after using a players prime

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

No matter how you look at it, Chiarot, Edmundson, Weber, Romanov, Anderson, even Kotkaniemi if he keeps playing like he did in last playoffs... That's a damn physical team you got there.

 

[Archijerej]

This is a good take.

It might turn out this way, if Anderson's healthy.

But I'm starting to repeat myself, so I'm just gonna stop. It does seem like a move with an eye to actual lines we deploy on the ice and not acquiring abstract value though.

only took 9 years to build a team with size, maybe it'll take another 9 to build a team that can score

 

[FLHabs]

Love that speed

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

After watching Alex Tuch in the bubble, it's that combo of size and speed that keeps me optimistic about this trade, bordeline hyped lol. Let's just hope he can stay healthy

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Honestly, after viewing that highlight reel, he's very skilled and fast for his size. I haven't had the opportunity to watch him play often but he seems like a good pickup. Sure, it sucks to see Domi go, but I think this could work out in our favor.

 

[HabsForHire]

Armia definitely has more skill.

Those random silky smooth toe drags that armia pulls off out of nowhere

 

[ZUKI]

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

2 x men can't had a baby together . The need of a woman is clearly essential here .

 

[TannedBum]

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

Armia isn't ? This woodhand grinder is not going to remove Armia from that spot. Not after what DSA-trio did in the playoffs.

Anderson can grind with Lehkonen all i care.

Ok just because this is more than the first time you bring up this 8.5 months business I just have to kind of clarify it better for you and everyone else

His surgery date was March 2, the first game of the extended season was August 1, so not only is that not 8.5 months
That is exactly FIVE months between those 2 dates
And :
Active
Anderson (shoulder) has recovered from shoulder surgery and would have played in the postseason had Columbus advanced, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

So we need to stop this injury prone and his shoulder is at risk talk for the time being honestly

he's about to get another 4-5 months to heal it even better

Anderson has a really interesting mix of speed, skills, size and toughness that's for sure.

We gave more proven value but can get back something we really need. Just hope the shoulder problem won't be affecting him in the future.

It sure is an interesting gamble. Something that could really pay off.

So your saying we will win a cup in 18 years ?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Wonder how his production was without Panarin.

In Anderson's 27 goals 47 pt season,
Panarin was part of 5 of Anderson's 47 pts, and 2 of Anderson's 27 goals

 

[Deebs]

Is #77 available for JA?

Looks like Jenner - Foligno - Anderson was his line.

 

[Wats]

Need to add another 9 years.

LOL looks like kulak gettin another Rolex baby!
