Anderson, who was acquired by the Canadiens two days ago in a trade for Max Domi and a third round pick, is a 26-year-old power forward. He only has 115 career points in the NHL, but scored 27 goals in 2018-19.
The 6-foot-3, 222-pound winger was injured for much of last season, playing just 26 games and scoring only four points.
Domi signed a contract extension with the Blue Jackets yesterday, a two-year deal worth $5.3 million per season.
