Anisimov would easily have been claimed if not for the quarantine requirements. He's owed peanuts right now due to frontloaded contract and a signing bonus. He's near league minimum in terms of actual salary.
But the other Canadian teams don't really have the cap and the rest of the league can't bother to wait a couple weeks for him to be ready. Maybe a bottom of the barrel claims him just hoping to be able to flip him at the deadline.
