TheRussianRocket. Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 @DarrenDreger: Anisimov extension with the Hawks. 5 yrs. $22.75 mil total. @reporterchris: Artem Anisimov's five-year extension with #blackhawks carries a $4.55M AAV. Kicks in next summer. ...where does Chicago keep getting the space to do these deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 They're playing the lottery with this extension hoping their best players make him a better player as well which may or may not happen. On their own, his stats don't warrent this type of money IMO. Future trade bait or buyout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Really? I don't understand this. Saad is 5 years younger and probably would have done a similar deal would he have not? Unless this is about replenishing their prospect pipeline instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If the Blackhawks move Bickell, that will help to free up space next year to absorb the extension. Not sure who else may be moved or not extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who else may be moved or not extended. Bickel must be their priority to move out. Boston are interested in him for some reason and his 4 million cap hit..

Guest Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Anisimov for $4.55m is not a sensible deal for Chicago. $4m would be more palatable, $3.75m better, but this? Seems too much for what they're getting. He's no Antoine Vermette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless this is about replenishing their prospect pipeline instead. I think Saad was looking for similar term but $6.5 million/yr. I don't have a source but I remember reading that somewhere.

deadendpath Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Saad wanted 6.5 a year. This extension makes sense when you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadendpath Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 27 years old. 6'4 center, 30 pts a season on a mediocre team. He's not as bad as some of you make him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
