The Josh Anderson Thread

What, me worry?
Glad it's done, but this just proves how bad his agent is. I know others players won't be mad, but u would be if I was one of his teammates. He wasn't out there working hard during training camp with them and he gained nothing from sitting out. He got the same contract he could have bad before.

Called it Friday at Noon.
The trade request was likely a leak from his agent......Anderson and Athanasiou both need to dump this clown Ferris

There is 0% chance of this happening. There is a business side to the sport. Sometimes it isn't always pleasant. But no professional organization would ever "punish" a player for a difficult contract negotiation. When He gets to town Torts will assess his fitness and figure out his lines with Josh in the lineup. When's He's ready He'll be on the ice.
Drop the puck already.

I bet he still has to do some testing. Wennberg had to run the 2 mile when he came in late (albeit he came in days late, not weeks/months)

Glad he's signed, too, but I'm thinking it's well earned if he 17-20 goals and adds a few more assists with 3rd line TOI. That said, he may get a few more minutes if he finds himself playing RW on a line with Dubi and Jenner (whenever Jenner does return).
Is there a reserve list he can be kept on while he goes about reporting/undergoing his physical and fitness testing (and maybe a few days of conditioning to get into game shape) or does he have to take up a 23-man roster spot during that time?

Yeah I think he's your healthy scratch if that's how you want to approach it but otherwise no - although maybe there's some arrangement of which I'm not aware.

Booooooooooone
He could do a conditioning stint in Cleveland, but he'd have to agree to that. I have a feeling he'll be a healthy scratch opening night.
Jarmo says that he doesn't expect Anderson to be in the opening night lineup...probably going to need a few games to get his legs under him, as I'd expect him to do testing and conditioning on his own
Yeah, figured that was going to happen. He's going to have to work his way into the lineup.
I saw a couple of other comments in here, I'm not sure you can use a conditioning assignment for a voluntary holdout/contract dispute. That almost might be interesting to read in the CBA.

No because Torts will still make him stake until he can't skate any more. He's not in the lineup Friday which indicates he'll have to earn his spot and get through the paces like everyone else. That's fair. Glad he's back. Hoping he's successful and grows into a top 9 role this year.

I would say less than 5%. If it were a sign and trade, the deal would have already been done, the Jackets wouldn't have bothered with a press release stating they signed him, and Duchene would have been here weeks ago. CBJ want Anderson.
