Major Development: LeBrun just revealed that the CH turned down a big trade offer involving Josh Anderson
Josh Anderson has been playing excellent hockey for the past few games and has taken advantage of the injury to Cole Caufield to take his place on the first line.
The number 17 is currently third on the team in goals with 14 since the beginning of the season, but what makes him the most talked about is the numerous trade rumors that have been circulating since the beginning of the season.
However, it has been known for some time that Kent Hughes will not trade his power forward unless he gets the moon in return for his services. By the way, as reported by Wilson Salaun of GoNordiques.com, it seems that the Habs GM has received quite a trade offer for Anderson.
According to informer Pierre LeBrun, an NHL team has offered a first-round pick for the services of number 17.
But Kent Hughes would have considered this offer insufficient and he simply refused the transaction. Nothing less. It would seem that only a first round pick would not be enough to satisfy the needs of the Habs organization.
The trade deadline is fast approaching and there will undoubtedly be other Habs players that should be traded, long before Josh Anderson. The good news is that if Hughes turned down a first round pick for him, it gives us a good idea of his value on the trade market.
