Bicks!

 

[ImDaBaron]

Working fast

 

[Chris Hansen]

The fact that they cleared so much salary before this got done has me concerned. Won't celebrate over the deal until I hear the cap hit.

Bickell gets a four year deal for what I'm hearing is pretty big money. Gets some of what Frolik and Bolland were earning.

**** OFF

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Awesome. Let's see the hit though.

 

[Thucydides]

4.8 million per. Just a guess.

 

[Sevanston]

Please don't overpay please don't overpay please don't overpay

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Duck and Cover!

 

[The Good Doctor]

Woot!

 

[Marina]

How much though.

 

[Thucydides]

I'm guessing over 4 million per year.

 

[HockeySauce]

It's obviously an overpayment, hopefully it's not just too bad.

 

[Hawks82]

I'm going to guess between $3 & 4 million.

 

[Nothingman*]

So much for hometown discount.

 

[Thucydides]

Wouldn't surprise me if Bickell got 5 million a year. Good thing is is that it's only 4 years. Not terrible.

 

[zytz]

oh gawd

so nervous about this cap hit

 

[madgoat33]

4.8 million per. Just a guess.

ugh, I'd **** my pants

 

[Honey Bear]

Bickell's deal is $16 M over 4 yrs

Yep. Confirmed by LeBrun.

 

[Al Secord Forever]

He took a team-friendly deal for a few years. Keeping him around for a few more at a higher rate seems right.

 

[Thucydides]

4 million! Not too bad.

 

[Hewy]

4 million per, what a ****ing joke.

 

[HockeySauce]

4M per isn't so bad. Was hoping for 3.5M per, but expected it to be more. It's too much for a guy that's never scored 20 goals, but what are you going to do?

 

[Al Secord Forever]

Bickell's deal is $16 M over 4 yrs

Yep. Confirmed by LeBrun.

He's 27, we lock him up for prime years and no one in the system (to my memory) plays his game. Good deal.

$4m for bickell
