According to Pierre LeBrun, Kent Hughes was busy during the trade deadline in March fielding offers for Josh Anderson.

The Power-Forward who has capabilities of taking over zones, fighting for his teammates, and scoring, is still highly sought after even. With the offensive threats Montreal has, I don't imagine Hughes and Gorton moving on from him, but according to LeBrun, "never say never".
With Anderson's skill set, as a healthy forward is a 20-goal scorer and can hold his own against guys like Tom Wilson and Ryan Reaves.
As it stands he has a high value in the market because while the game is transitioning to a fast-paced, more skilled style, he can do both and it makes him valuable in the regular and post-season when campaigns get gritty.
With Martin St. Louis as Head Coach now, I can see his game and style improving, as they most likely have chemistry from his time in Columbus, as a power-play coach.
Let's just hope he continues his next season, trending with no injuries, something his career is all-too-familiar with.
