After a 10-game rehab stint with Charlotte, Bicks gets recalled to finish the season.

Nice to see. Hopefully he can keep playing through the MS for a coupla years.

He's at 391 career NHL games. I guess 400 qualifies you for a higher pension tranche, so I hope he gets exactly that many between Carolina and idk Las Vegas and then retires. Big part of a championship team, even though things got ugly at the end of his time here, which turned out to be through no fault of his own.

EDIT: duh, the Coyotes can always use dead cap space too

The 400 game rule is 400 games on the roster, not 400 games played. Any game he was a healthy scratch for counts for purposes of the pension. I learned this as John Scott talked about it during a somewhat recent interview and said he qualifies because of it.

Edit: here it is... We can safely say that Bickell already has qualified for a full pension

Very emotional interview.

He should get some sort of sinecure with the Hawks, something on the charity side maybe.
