I don't think anyone here was advocating for that either, you need some veteran presence as well.

Unless you're going to Hagens or Martone Though you can also just run all vets that suck for that too

Anderson sur la 4, c'est triste mais je comprends lol.

I don't know why, I have a feeling he'll end up in Toronto. wouldn't bet on it though lol

Depends on his linemates.

Do you put Newhook on his wing?

- MortChicken


I'd like to see Newhook with Armia and Gally again, at least to start the season, but with Dvorak still around, that seems unlikely.

If Newhook is not his winger, then Roy and Anderson with Dach,

Considering he has his best games against the Leafs, feels like it's the worst possible landing spot for him.

my best case scenario would be that he plays very decently until the TDL, where a couple of teams out west have a little bidding war and Hughes gets a nice return out of it

the most ideal scenario would be that Anderson all of a sudden becomes this awesome power forward that everyone was eager for, but that isn't realistic whatsoever lol.

if he can play like last season, before xmas, I have 0 problem with. he was excellent, even when unable to buy a goal.
what we saw after xmas though, that was unacceptable. if it's what we see again... scratch him, pure and simple.

at least he seems to be self-aware of his performances and knows that he plain sucked last year, so there's that...

it will be a tight race for sure. FLA is good, BOS improved, TB were missing their #1 goalie for the 1st 2 months last season...
a team could reach 95 pts and still miss the playoffs.

If Woll and/or Stolarz are crap, they'll be in hard...but I think any team can say the same of their goaltending.

Are we continuing the myth of him being a leaf killer? He's been a hab killer the last few years
