A big trade rumor is circulating and it would be a 3 team deal, involving Josh Anderson

The observer Maxim Guérin, who sometimes reveals exclusive and interesting information, has just published a huge rumour concerning a possible three-team monster trade between the Canadiens, the Blue Jackets and the Devils:

So it's understandable that the major deal in question could look something like this:

In Montreal:
1st pick from Columbus (12th overall)
Pavel Zacha

To Columbus:
1st pick from New Jersey (2nd overall)

To New Jersey:
Josh Anderson
1st pick from Columbus (Chicago) (6th overall)

In summary, Montreal would trade Anderson, give itself some nice cap room under the NHL salary cap, pick up a young center (and a former 6th overall pick) in Pavel Zacha, and get its hands on the 12th overall pick in 2022.

It sounds like a good deal, but hey. We're sharing the information with you because it's starting to circulate quite a bit, and because it's always fun to put yourself in the shoes of the GM, but you be the judge if you really believe it.

Would this be a good deal for the CH, in your opinion? We know that Zacha's name has already been linked to Kent Hughes and the Tricolore.
