Josh Anderson trade: we have a major update

We have an update regarding the widely discussed potential trade involving forward Josh Anderson.

Anderson represents a unique case, in the sense that we genuinely wish him well and hope for him to be traded.

He is a great teammate and loved as a person, but the reality is that he cannot thrive as he deserves with the Montreal Canadiens.

Firstly, because Martin St-Louis' system is not ideal for a power forward and "North-South" player like Anderson, and secondly, because he shines so much more in playoff hockey.

Unfortunately, in Montreal, he doesn't currently have the chance to play playoff hockey.

Josh Anderson Trade: The Hockey News has an update

With a tough team like the Carolina Hurricanes, a team that lost a few good forwards this summer, he could truly stand out more.

He would look so much better playing for a team like that, a team that relies heavily on forechecking and work in the offensive zone.

According to THN, Anderson could indeed be the next player traded by Kent Hughes.

The journalist adds that Anderson does not fit well with the current structure of the Canadiens, and many executives around the NHL think the same.

With Martin St-Louis trying to build a system based on intelligence and teamwork, Anderson seems a bit lost.

Would you be willing to trade Anderson, even if it means retaining some salary in the transaction?

This is a situation to follow, but don't be surprised if Anderson has played his last game with the Canadiens, especially if Kent Hughes manages to acquire Patrik Laine.
