But there's another name on the Canadiens' roster that is reportedly drawing interest, that being 29-year-old forward Josh Anderson, who has been struggling this season.
Moving Josh Anderson won't be easy however. The Burlington, Ontario native has three years remaining on his contract beyond the 2023-24 season with a cap hit of $5.5 million and a modified no-trade clause.
Anderson has 17 points (eight goals, nine assists), 57 penalty minutes and is a minus-16 in 57 games this season with Montreal. If the Canadiens are to trade Anderson, whether it be before Friday's deadline or in the summer, they will certainly get a lot less than the reported first-round pick they were offered last season.
