Blackhawks Re-Sign Bryan Bickell

On Friday afternoon, the Chicago Blackhawks reportedly agreed on a new three-year contract for forward Bryan Bickell with a $541,666 cap number.

Listed at 6’4 and 225 pounds, Bickell will be one of the young power forwards fighting to replace Dustin Byfuglien on the Hawks’ roster this season. In 23 career NHL games, the 24-year-old has five goals and one assist.

With a number of forwards and Brian Campbell hurt at the beginning of the 2010 postseason, Bickell dressed for four games and had an assist while skating with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane in the Nashville series.
