The holdout has requested a trade from the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Anderson, who's a restricted free agent, elected not to report to training camp while awaiting a new contract.
“This trade request is news to me,” Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said after the initial report was published. “And we are not looking to trade Josh Anderson.”
The winger's agent, Darren Ferris, declined to comment.
