With Patrik Laine joining the Canadiens, the organization is planning significant adjustments to its lines, and Josh Anderson might be affected. Marc Dumont from Montreal Hockey Now has shared a projection that has drawn attention by excluding Anderson from the top four lines. According to this projection, the lines would be: <q>Cole Caufield - Nick Suzuki - Juraj Slafkovsky Patrik Laine - Kirby Dach - Joshua Roy Brendan Gallagher - Alex Newhook - Joel Armia Michael Pezzetta - Jake Evans - Christian Dvorak Extras: Josh Anderson and Alex Barré-Boulet</q> Despite his substantial $5.5 million contract, Anderson is not included in the main lines, which could raise questions. However, it is plausible that he could regain his place if his performance improves after a disappointing season.
