Here's the rationale behind the Anisimov-Smith trade, from what I figure:
- they're both 31
- Smith saves $1.3 million in cap space, allowing them to re-sign Perlini easily
- Smith is better on faceoffs. Over past 4 years, he's won 50.2%, Anisimov 45.1%

Sweet! 1-2 extra face off wins per game! Woot woot!

AA has better scoring numbers and is solid defensively. This looks to be a cap trade because I think AA is the better player.

He also took 300+ fewer faceoffs.

You're funny

... and THERE is your Anisimov trade.

Artem Anisimov for Zach Smith (OTT).

- paulr

Not even close AA is a better player in virtually every way.

(frank)ing cap pisses me off.

No question he's a better player than Smith. Aside from glorious cap space, how did the team get better?

Oh no AA is too slow, haven't you heard

... and THERE is your Anisimov trade.

again...expected pick/prospect for AA not a player with 3 mildo contract...

This.

Downers Grove Ice Arena is supposed to be the same size and rumor has it that the old Stadium boards ended up there. Wouldn't surprise me if old Dollar Bill tried to recoup a couple of bucks by reselling the boards.
- Rota's Rooter

Downers Grove Ice arena was owned bun Whitey Stapleton. If you look they the Zamboni website there used to be a picture of him accepting delivery of a new Zamboni at the rink (maybe the same one there now)

... and THERE is your Anisimov trade.

Penalty Kill and $1.3mil in Cap space (to sign Perlini?) look to be the rationale.

Net loss
- Ogilthorpe2

No way. The extra face off win each game will easily offset the big drop off in offensive output.

It's the new day cap trade

Artem Anisimov is owed a total of $4M in SB and salary for the upcoming 2019-20 season.

The $2M signing bonus was due & paid yesterday, July 15 2019, by Chicago.

#Sens have increased their cap hit, while reducing their salary expenses:

Anisimov (2 yrs remaining)
Cap hit: $4.55M
Salary owed: $5M in salary & signing bonus

Smith (2 yrs remaining)
Cap hit: $3.25M
Salary owed: $6.5M

#Sens Result:
+$1.3M cap hit/yr
-$1.5M salary expenses

No way. The extra face off win each game will easily offset the big drop off in offensive output.

It's 1.324 more faceoff wins per game Bucko.

It makes no sense. The Hawks just got weaker.
- Ogilthorpe2

Also, I question the timing of this deal. If Stan waited he would have got more from Ottawa.

Also, will Anisimov still attend the convention?

Trade is done.

Looks like Dach sold them yesterday. lol
- Blackwater13

I am.ok with the trade. We can dump anyone later on. And then comes expansion too. But he won' t be more than one year - him and Carpenter BOTH for one season then a kid takes ar least one of their jobs

Smith

Dach

Perlini and Smith or Anisimov?

Penalty Kill and $1.3mil in Cap space (to sign Perlini?) look to be the rationale.
- EnzoD

It’s a poop trade that accomplished nothing but freeing up a small amount of cap space.

No way. The extra face off win each game will easily offset the big drop off in offensive output.
- mohel

They did say they are going to give Dach every opportunity to make the team, it just got easier for him.

Perlini and Smith or Anisimov?
- EnzoD

Anisimov all day, every day. WTF has Perlini ever done?

Anisimov. Easy.
