Josh Anderson agreed to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. It has an average annual value of $5.5 million.
The 26-year-old forward could have become a restricted free agent Oct. 9. He was traded to the Canadiens by the Columbus Blue Jackets for forward Max Domi and a third-round pick (No. 78) in the 2020 NHL Draft on Wednesday.
Anderson scored four points (one goal, three assists) and was limited to 26 games with the Blue Jackets last season because of a shoulder injury and did not play in the postseason.
When asked Wednesday about possibly signing a long-term contract with Montreal, Anderson said, "I guess we'll have to see. If the contract's good, we'll have to see on the term. But if it is a long-term extension, I'd be more than happy to be a Montreal Canadien long term."
Selected by Columbus in the fourth round (No. 95) of the 2012 NHL Draft, Anderson has 115 points (65 goals, 50 assists) in 267 regular-season games and eight points (three goals, five assists) in 21 playoff games.
With the pick acquired in the trade, Columbus on Wednesday selected defenseman Samuel Knazko from TPS in Finland's junior league.
