What happened with Bickell sucks but that's one of those situations I look at and just go "eh, what can you do...stuff happens."
Also the league really wouldn't be "helping out" Chicago if Hossa is legitimately unable to play as a result of a medical condition. That would just be using LTIR for it's intended purpose. The only people who would consider that some sort of special favor from the NHL are the HF doctors who have already professionally diagnosed Hossa as being capable of playing but just not feeling like it.
I agree with the general point that people always mislabel this trade as being Bickell and TT for literally nothing, but the pick they got in return wasn't the DeBrincat pick. They got pick #50.
This made me lol. So true.
The rest of the thread, though... yeah. Ridiculous. No reason the Hawks should get a pick out of Bickell and the lack of a MS diagnosis in Chicago.
