$1.25 million/year cheaper. Gives Chicago $3.33 million in cap space, but they only need to sign Perlini.
I guess it gives them some breathing room.
If Chicago buys Smith out, his cap hit for the next four years is ~1M
If they were to buy Anisimov out, his cap hit would be >3M for the next two years. and then ~500k for the two after that.

So they could pay Anisimov 4.5M next two years to play or Smith ~1M for the next four to not play.

That'd be a 3.5M cap saving for the next two seasons if they go that route.
