anisimov retained for beagle and a 2nd

Anisimov can go almost anywhere, with 50% retained on this last season of his contract. He's owed $1.5MM in salary this season, so half is $750K, and then the trade deadline is usually at the 80% mark of the season, so Ottawa would retain about $150K of his salary, and his cap hit of $4.55MM would be about $455K. Any team that needs a depth centre could come calling.

How about Anisimov, Stutzle and your choice of Bernard-Docker, Lassi Thomson or Brannstrom to the Jets for Laine & Niku?

lol they aren't gonna trade Stuetzle for Laine

NO!!!!!!!!!!

Was worth asking. With White and Brown they have decent future Center depth and Stuetzle still isn't signed, so maybe there's an issue? Anyhow, they asked for ideas for moving Anisimov, this is one.

he's not signed because he has like a year left on his DEL contract and they still need to release him. They intend on doing so if we wants, which he does, and he's gonna join the Sens after the world juniors.
