Since the arrival of Martin St-Louis behind the bench of the Habs, several forwards have been favored by his style of play, including a certain Cole Caufield.

However, there are others who may not fit as well and that may be the case with Josh Anderson. The power forward brings an interesting dimension to the Habs' offense, but recently St. Louis said that Anderson's north-south style of play has caused the team to miss a lot of scoring chances and that he will have to correct some of the shortcomings.

We mentioned to you that there was a possibility that Kent Hughes might be tempted to trade number 17, specifically to the Calgary Flames, but now a former member of the organization agrees with the team's general manager.

As reported by David St-Jean of Marqueur.com, Marc Dumont, a former Habs content creator and now a columnist for the Montreal Hockey Now blog, believes that Anderson's style of play just doesn't work with Martin St-Louis and that he thinks Kent Hughes should trade him sooner rather than later.

It's well known that there were all kinds of rumors during the offseason, believing that several teams were interested in Anderson's services and despite this, Kent Hughes resisted the temptation to part with him.

Could it be that he has changed his mind?

Even if Anderson plays a very different style than Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, it seems obvious to me that in the medium and long term, the Habs will need this type of player in the organization. Moreover, it is known that Anderson brings a lot of leadership in the locker room and we remember that he scored very important goals during the playoffs in 2021, including one in overtime in the final against the Lightning.
