At this point just give Anisimov for nothing...

Hawks fans are interesting, they have a knack for undervaluing our players.

Anisimov could get a lot if Bowman traded him just to trade him... As if GM's trade players for personal amusement because they're bored.

This whole "we gotta get rid of Anisimov" stuff in nonsense...

I'm sure Bowman would be open to trading Anisimov, however I highly doubt he's calling GM's trying to hawk him. I mean if Anisimov is traded the deal is going to have to make sense and and McNiven & 3rd isn't even close... Try McNiven, 1st and a good prospect - even then I would probably say no if I was Bowman.. No need to move Anisimov unless it's a deal that makes sense and this doesn't make sense..

The only way Bowman would make this deal is if he was in cap hell with his back against the wall and this was the only offer he had to get under the cap ceiling.

Anisimov is being paid way too much to be a 3rd line center though.
