The Montreal Canadiens are going to go through a lot of change this summer and it will begin at the draft when they select first overall in their own building.

According to Marco D'Amico of Montreal Hockey Now, the Canadiens have been receiving a lot of interest in forward Josh Anderson. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman mentioned on a recent podcast that teams had been calling leading up to the deadline, but the ask from Montreal scared teams away.

"Yes, I do absolutely think teams were sniffing around there, but I think the problem was the Canadiens were asking a lot," Friedman said. "He's a good player, he's signed for a while and they're not just going to give him away."

Anderson, 28, has five years remaining on his contract with the Canadiens at a cap hit of $5.5 million. The Burlington (Ontario) native recorded 32 points (nineteen goals, thirteen assists), 65 penalty minutes and was a minus-25.
