Josh Anderson trade: the precise moment has been identified by Trege Wilson
There are many rumors about potential acquisitions for the Canadiens, but also about some departures, such as that of Josh Anderson.
It is clear that his contract is a burden for the organization and that he no longer fits into the team's future plans. It's a shame because he is a hard worker, but he doesn't fit the system implemented by Martin St-Louis.
His modest tally of 20 points, including 9 goals last season, speaks for itself. That's very little for a player earning $5.5 million per season.
Josh Anderson trade: the exact timing confirmed?
Those who hope for his departure this summer might need to be patient, as Josh may need to regain his form before a trade is considered.

Wilson's statement is not unreasonable, considering that Josh, let's remember, was worth a first-round pick at the end of the 2022-23 season according to several analysts.
When this player scores 20 goals or more, he is worth his salary for everything he brings to the team, but below that, his contract becomes a burden.
With one less year remaining on his contract, the salary cap expected to increase again next summer, and a strong 2024-25 campaign, all hopes are permitted.
