Major announcement on Canadiens' Josh Anderson, and it's over
Power forward Josh Anderson in the spotlight, and it's not looking good for him.
Indeed, in recent days, the idea of letting Josh Anderson go for free seems more realistic than ever.
The man himself has admitted that he just had the worst season of his career (excluding the seasons he mostly played in the AHL).
Stu Cowan, a journalist from The Montreal Gazette, has just addressed his situation and suggests some brutal solutions.
Josh Anderson sent to the minors or traded for free?
Will the Canadiens attempt to repeat the Joel Armia scenario from last season with Josh Anderson? Here's what Stu Cowan thinks.
Martin St-Louis didn't think Anderson had given up, but at some point, the head coach will have to give up on Josh Anderson next season if he continues to struggle and if other forwards perform better than him.
We saw the positive impact of Joel Armia's stint with the Rocket de Laval (AHL) last season. It wouldn't be surprising to see management do the same with Anderson in 2024-2025.»

At this moment, Kent Hughes is likely already searching for a team willing to take the big forward. Perhaps he could join the man who coached him during his best season, John Tortorella, with the Philadelphia Flyers. Otherwise, a team like the Carolina Hurricanes or even the Seattle Kraken, which likes big forwards, could be interested. Whether it's a player-for-player trade or for future considerations, Kent Hughes will certainly look to avoid the humiliation of putting Josh Anderson on waivers.
This will be a case to watch over the coming weeks and months, but honestly, it's yet another failure of the Marc Bergevin administration.
