from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe,
After being stapled by Chara into the end boards of Nationwide Arena, Anderson made his displeasure known to the point where the Boston behemoth agreed to shed his gloves.
But Tortorella remains disgruntled that Anderson did not sign his three-year, $5.5 million extension off his entry-level contract until Oct. 2. By then, Anderson had missed all of camp. He was not fit to play Columbus’s first two games.
“He’s going to be one [heck] of a player,” Tortorella said. “I just thought he was stupid at the beginning of the year. I thought he was stupid and his entourage was stupid. That guy, and where I think he can go in his career, to miss one minute of camp was a crime. I’m not trying to insult people. It was a crime for a young player to miss a minute of camp. Especially him, where he can be. It still bothers me.”
