There are reports of a possible trade involving Josh Anderson
We reported a few days ago that TSN's Frank Seravalli had compiled a list of 25 players who could be traded before the July draft.
Three Habs players appear on this list: Jeff Petry, Shea Weber, and forward Josh Anderson.
The presence of Habs number 17 may appear surprising, but we know there were rumours about him before the trade deadline, and Kent Hughes' phone rang frequently during that time.
But as my colleague Keven Mawn of Fanadiens.com reports, it looks like there's some news on this front.
Informant Marco D'Amico, who works for Montreal Hockey Now, mentioned in his most recent column, that indeed, there would be a lot of demands regarding Josh Anderson, but that Kent Hughes would be very greedy in his demands and unless he gets the moon in return for his services, the Habs will definitely keep their power forward.
Anderson has scored 19 goals in 69 games this season, but some experts believe that eventually he could become a regular 30-goal scorer in the NHL, having already scored 27 goals in 2018-2019 with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
