You know the drill, Anderson is worth a boatload to many, so getting someone that isn’t potentially a premier top line C is not enough.

I could easily see him at a ppg in his prime, and my argument would be that Patrice Bergeron was a 60-point C, and most people would take him as their first-line C. Not that I'm exactly comparing them.
