One thing that I think we're all in agreement on ("we" being Warrior
followers) is that Anderson will likely land on his feet in a job where he
can do well and that he will enjoy.  Hockey people know what he can bring
to the table.
 
He has been mentioned in connection with the new Lowell AHL team which
begins play next season.  Even if he doesn't get the head coaching job, he
seems to at least be a solid candidate to be an assistant.
 
He'll be someplace in a year or two, the only question is where.
