I think Bickell gets bought out this summer if they don't have a taker for him.

I agree. It's better than paying him just over 3 million to be a Hog for one more year.
I also think Hossa has one more year in Chicago, and if he puts up sub-40 points next season, the Hawks may look to move him with a promise that he doesn't hang them up with a few years to go. They would be insane to not try and free up cap room for Panarin, because free agent D men will be gobbled up rather quickly in the off season. There are some decent UFAs, but age is a factor with a few of them, and for others a 4m cap hit for a FA blue liner could send this team to cap hell once again.

There are a ton of interesting storylines about this Hawks' offseason. Very interested to see how it all plays out.

Stupid question... I know I know shut the fuck up, but with the new rules in place for what can and can't be traded and teams being able to retrain certain portions and such, if they buy out bickell, could they use his buyout hit as a piece in a trade that year? So in 17-18 could we say trade draft picks and that dead money to a team for a player or something like that? Is there anything in the books to do that?

Doubt that can be done (or if the CBA allows that to happen), but if Stan could pull that off he deserves BJs from all of us. My guess is they buyout is a transaction that allows Bickell to be a free agent to be picked up as a UFA from 29 other teams, so the remaining cap hit doesn't figure into a negotiation for a player that isn't on the books anymore, which means it's dead cap.
He's already pulled off moves to retain salary, so if a trade negotiates a team retain up to 1.5m, I guess you can call it a wash. I just don't think too many teams are out there that are willing to eat salary for players they won't have on a roster anymore, unless they're trying to meet the cap floor.

We need to bring Panik back. Love his tweet quote below:
Richard Panik wants to return to Blackhawks
http://www.secondcityhockey.com/201...to-return-to-blackhawks-2016-salary-cap-space
The NHL salary cap ceiling is estimated to be around $74 million next season. Panik is coming off a one-year, $975,000 contract. He's a simple man and it doesn't take much to make him happy.
Panik on #Blackhawks: "It's how the organization treats us. We have breakfast — all-inclusive. It seems like I'm on vacation all the time."

Yeah, that's what I figured. I assume the only way to do it then is to trade him to a team with the space to eat it with the buyout implied...

Lack of consistent 4th line is on Q....unless Stan was intervening...then it is on Bickell... because

My favorite teams
I think Hossa will give a very solid year next year. I also think that if they move him down to the 3rd or 4th line, he still will be an excellent FORCE on this team. He had a very good play-off and is still one of the best two way players on the Hawks.
