Friedman: Senators could look to trade Craig Anderson

[Devilsrock17]

Anderson would be a great fit for Vancouver

 

[Ouroboros]

Why?

5.5M salary and he's coming off arguably the worst season of his career. One of oldest goalie in the league to boot.

If there is a way out of this contract that doesn't involve substantial retention the Senators should probably take it.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

These aren't necessarily straight up deals with no extra pieces...

Anderson for Moulson retained

Anderson for Darling

Anderson for Greiss

Anderson for Bouwmeester

Anderson for Markstrom/Nilsson

Seeing as the guy who said Andy is a one on one off goalie, I’d rather not acquire Andy when he’s heading into a season where he’s expected to play well and we wanna suck bad enough to have a good chance at the younger Hughes.

"Could look into "


These insiders starting to sound like palm readers at the state fair

You guys get so caught up in Friedman's wording. He always talks like that when referring to rumours. It's a bit annoying, but it doesn't mean he's merely speculating. I wouldn't even be surprised if Anderson wanted to be traded at this point.

 

[Freudian]

The market for a 37 year old goalie coming off a .898 sv% season with a cap hit of $4.75M/year for another two seasons should be hot hot hot.

 

[Brock Radunske]

they could.

but they might not.

Sounds like you're ready to join the panel.

 

[King Woodballs]

The sun could rise tomorrow. But it may also may not.
Have to wait until then to find out.

 

[Fandlauer]

Andy still has some gas left in the tank. The entire team stopped playing last year, there was nobody in front of him.

That being said he's 37, making a bit too much, and I can't imagine there's much of a market for him. The guys a class act, and we will need his contract to hit the floor.

This rumor smells like bullshit.

 

[koyvoo]

As they should

 

[BernieParent]

I was thinking about Philly, but I figure they might want to move one of their three goalies out before they think about swapping goalies in and out.

That definitely has to be part of the process. Both Elliott and Neuvirth are low-cost, low-risk backup options and could probably be moved for a low return. And I doubt any team would use a G roster spot to claim Lyon if he is sent to the AHL.

 

[Cynick]

I honestly hope Anderson asks for a trade so that he can go to a playoff-bound team, even if he is backup. He deserves a final shot at a Cup.

This how Elliotte talks when he's throwing shit against the wall.

Ottawa does know they have to ice a team right?

When you say Ottawa you really mean Melnyk right? And no I dont think he does know that.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Andy is pretty inconsistent but is overall a pretty good team player. He does have his diva moments (I remember a certain game in Colorado where he basically pulled himself....) and is injured mid-season quite a bit though, so that's stuff to weigh when acquiring him. His salary is sorta ok, but he'll likely decline too at some point. I'd prefer keeping him than losing him, unless we get a decent goaltender prospect back and save some money. We're a cap floor team this year so....

 

[WesMcCauley]

When you say Ottawa you really mean Melnyk right? And no I dont think he does know that.

Melnyk is saving as much $ he can, highly doubt he wants to be much over the cap floor if they know they are missing the playoffs anyway.

 

[Helistin]

No one knows.

IT’S A FIRE! sale

I get Hoffman. And I get Karlsson if he doesn’t want to extend. But I can’t imagine theres a market for Anderson.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He would be a good back-up/temporary starter for another team. Say Detroit for Jimmy Howard.

 

[canucks20]

Anderson would be a great fit for Vancouver

He would?

 

[Bonzo111]

package him with EK

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't know what teams would be interested in him, but I definitely see him having some suitors. Buffalo makes a lot of sense I think.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Honestly nobody wants Anderson at full hit. 50% retained is feasible, but this is Melnyk we are talking. Even though he would save money, he would probably turn it down due to the fact he was eating dead money

[justafan22]

Some fits as a base, not the full deal

To NYI for Greiss

To Vancouver for Nilsson

To Philly for Elliot

Detroit and Buffalo make sense as well.

Depending on price and if Ottawa will take a bad contract, Anderson would be a fantastic mentor for Linus Ullmark
