The idea of an all-Canadian division is pretty frigging fabulous, though!

Would they gain more offence. Danault is establishing himself as a 50-55 point player. Is Domi much better than that? Do we think that 1 70 point season is the norm or an outlier. Maybe hes slightly better and a 60-65 point guy. That 10 points does not make up for Danaults defensive work which is great and where Domi is attrocious. Matching top lines, the PK, important faceoffs, etc...

Domi over Danault would leave the 20/21 Habs with nobody defensively suited to play against Tavares/Matthews, Krejci/Bergeron, Eichel, Crosby/Malkin, McDavid/Draisaitl, MacKinnon, etc. ... in a season where MB may well feel he has to cleanly make the playoffs and not scramble for a wild card to retain his job. Don't know that there would have been a defenceman much better than Edmundson available for Danault ... the few that have been dealt since the tournament that I would have wanted were dealt for draft picks, not contracts ...

This isn’t even the correct thread for this whiner opinion, gotta complain about something. As if you have near the breadth of knowledge or research as the management team that does this for a living. There is next to no concern about Anderson’s health and he provides exactly what Habs have been desperately missing. The guys has wheel and can straight up beat goalies off the rush or in close, get off the negative nelly hormones or at least use the right thread to spew your negative bs. All kinds of league professionals see Anderson signing as a good move, but let’s stop and listen to some schmo who wants to shit on anything apparently. Must suck to not even find joy in the Habs moves this past month, feel bad for ya.

Ok, so you don't like the contract, I won't deny that it doesn't come without it's risks if he remains injury proned. However, you can't say we are choosing size over skill, while we are in fact getting size AND skill. Anderson is a big top 6 forward with good skating, a big shot, and good hands around the net, trying to diminish his skill level just because he is big and has a contract you don't like, isn't very fair, or accurate, for that matter.
