Montreal Canadiens: Analyzing the Josh Anderson Max Domi Trade
By Joshua Rosa
Doom and gloom has been the name of the game as of late in Montreal Canadiens land, and not for a bad reason. The Canadiens have been okay at best, flat out awful at worst in the past little bit. But it is nice to remember that not everything is bad, and that is the focus of this article.
It is hard to pick a standout move from Marc Bergevin’s 2020 offseason, but trading for Josh Anderson, giving up Max Domi and a third round draft pick which became Samuel Knazko might be it (if it weren’t for a certain Tyler Toffoli signing). It was odd to say the least, with many people questioning the trade at the time, especially since Domi was one year removed from leading the Canadiens with 72 points in 82 games.
Well, the conversation has been real quiet now.
Anderson has been one of the bright spots that have lasted throughout the recent dark days in the Habs’ season this year. The “Power Horse” has 15 goals so far this year, good for second on the team, behind Tyler Toffoli.
Max Domi, on the other hand has been a step or two below good this year. He has 7 goals and 12 assists in 49 games. But to say its his fault is tough to say.
