by from on (#10ZKA)
After going unclaimed on the waiver wire, Bryan Bickell and his $4-million cap hit are heading to the AHL.
The forward, who was placed on waivers Saturday, has been reassigned to the Chicago Blackhawks minor-league affiliate in Rockford.
The 29-year-old recorded two assists in 23 NHL games this season, and remains under contract with the Blackhawks through to the end of the 2016-17 season.
A second-round pick in 2004, Bickell played a role in the Blackhawks' 2010, 2013, and 2015 Stanley Cup championships.
