"I know that the New Jersey Devils showed interest in (Anderson) last season via trade, and I don't know if that has changed with the acquisition of Timo Meier, but they can serve as an example of how a trade of Anderson with a contender could work.
The Devils are slowly giving more and more responsibility to Alexander Holtz – the 7th overall pick in the 2020 draft (1st round) – but unless he makes a significant leap forward, the Devils might come to the conclusion that he doesn't quite fit their window. [...]
It may not be Holtz, but it would probably take someone like him to convince the Canadiens to trade Anderson because I don't think he is seen as someone they absolutely have to trade."
