This is why Max Domi had to go. Simply put, the Montreal Canadiens feel they’re in a position of strength at the centre position.
And so, on the eve of the Canadiens’ 2020 NHL Entry Draft, they dealt away Domi and a third-round draft choice to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 6’3, 222lb. winger in Josh Anderson.
Anderson’s size and strength is a plus, but his greatest appeal is his goal scoring. The Canadiens were in desperate need of a goal-scoring winger to play alongside talented players like Nick Suzuki and Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
