Montreal Canadiens are rumored to be on the verge of reaching an agreement with power forward Josh Anderson on a contract extension. According to Darren Dreger of Insider Trading on TSN, this extension is expected soon after being delayed initially. Anderson, acquired from the Washington Capitals in 2020, has been a valuable depth player for the Canadiens since joining, scoring four goals and two assists in his first seven games of the current season.
While Anderson has been open to staying in Montreal, he has been pushing for a contract extension. The Montreal Canadiens, entering their contention window, are looking to bolster their roster with size and physicality, making Anderson's presence valuable. However, they are also focused on improving their top six lineup and may be willing to let Anderson go for a reasonable price.
Anderson, who has become known as "Playoff Andy" for his strong performances in the playoffs, desires to remain with the Canadiens due to his enjoyment of the team environment.
