No. Anisimov's cap hit is 4.55M, but his salary owed over the next two seasons is 4M in 19/20 [2M bonus already paid by Chicago and 2M base salary] and 3M in 20/21 [1.5M bonus and 1.5M base salary]. His contract was front loaded. The Sens are on the hook for 5M while Zack Smith was owed 6.25M over the same time frame.

It's a money saving deal for Ottawa. Everything they do is about saving money.


Yes, I saw his actual breakdown after I posted my reply. I added an edit to show the actual numbers. Are you sure Chicago has already paid the SB?

Has just 2 years left on his K, helps us reach the floor, and is much better than Smith.

Wow. Good job?

Anisimov is a nice pickup. Only owed 5 mil over the next 2 seasons in cash now that the bonus is paid.

Make no mistake this trade appears to be a very nice move by PD both on ice and from a buget perspective.

High fives all around!

**** yeah. Big savings boys!


Wasn't everyone asking Dorion to use his cap room to get players or picks? I am ok with the Sens paying less of the actual $$$ but getting the arguably better player. I imagine if we had done the deal before the signing bonus was paid, we might have been able to squeeze a pick out of them (3rd rounder or worse I would assume).

Worst case scenario, we trade him at the deadline in the next two years for a pick

Local Chicago beat writers are reporting it's already paid, Capfriendly reporting it's already paid as well.

Beyond that, given Ottawa's past history you can assume that it has 100% already been paid by the Blackhawks. They never miss a chance to shave a little cash off the payroll.

Bowman purchased 1$ million of cap space for 2 years for $3 Million plus the difference between Anisimov vs Smith .

I'm just asking for the savings for our fearless leader.
