Confirmed Buy-Out [CHI] Blackhawks to buy out F Josh Bailey

[TGWL]

I'm not sure why Hall would be flipped this deadline. Unless he's unhappy and wants out. He's here to help out and have someone to play with Bedard. Not to just play with Bedard half a year and leave him out to dry.

I'm not saying he will be but if the season is going where Hawks are at the bottom and teams come calling for Hall, Hawks could get back some good assets here with him retained.

Not sure what you’re referring to here, but it’s incorrect.

There’s a CBA restriction that Compliance Buyout players can’t rejoin the team within a year. This isn’t a Compliance Buyout. Nor is it a retained salary transaction.

I'm quite sure that if a team matches an offer sheet, it cannot trade that player during the next 365 days.

Yup, but that’s still not the situation with Bailey.

Never said it was.

I was simply commenting on the "No-trade for 1 year" situation.

I was not aware that it also applied to Compliance buy-outs.
