With the trade deadline just ten days away, it's not just in the media that this day matters, but also among the players. Like it or not, given the rebuilding of the Montreal Canadiens, Josh Anderson's name has been circulating considerably on the trade market for the past few months. A player like Anderson, who plays a physical game, who can score goals and who offers a good caliber of play in many facets of a game, as we can see now in the shorthanded game, could become a great catch for a Stanley Cup contending team. What we know right now is that Kent Hughes is not actively trading his power forward. However, that won't stop teams from inquiring about his services. One thing is certain, the Tricolore's GM will only let him go if the offer is astronomical. When asked about the rumors that are circulating about him after the game against the New Jersey Devils, Anderson was very clear about his wishes for the trade deadline. He really wants to stay with the Montreal Canadiens. <q>I hope to still be a Canadien after the trade deadline.</q> That has the makings of clarity and sends a powerful message to the club's management. The next few days could be pivotal for him, especially if his recent strong performances like yesterday against the Devils draw even more attention from other NHL teams. In 55 games this season, the 28-year-old forward has 22 points, including 16 goals. He has four more seasons left on his $5.5 million annual contract after this year. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MA_PerreaultTVA/status/1628226014756102144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1628226014756102144%7Ctwgr%5E8181ac2288afa9a0b48668d282bde88704d2a9a2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanadiens.com%2FJosh-Anderson-a-envoye-un-message-clair-aux-dirigeants-du-CH-apres-le-match-face-aux-Devils-211247'> </a></blockquote></div> Credit: <a href='https://www.fanadiens.com/equipe-lnh/canadiens-de-montreal/Josh-Anderson-a-envoye-un-message-clair-aux-dirigeants-du-CH-apres-le-match-face-aux-Devils' class='link_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Fanadians.com</a>
