Why would anybody take him? He's only had a brief period of solid play, has a huge contract and is suffering from vertigo. That brief period happened to be when it mattered most. "Playoff Bickell" was MIA this year in terms of goals but casual fans will remember him as the guy that had a great run during the playoffs. Also, there are teams that value big guys that hit people. Someone, somewhere is making the argument that Bickell hitting people helped win the Ducks series. Finally, there are teams that need to rweach the cap floor. Getting a guy with Bickell's potential for a draft pick wouldn't be a bad move if he were healthy. Once he can show that, they'll be able to find a taker. If he can't they might be able to LTIR him. The matters most stuff is noise and there probably aren't as many dumb teams that can be fooled by that stuff. The cap floor stuff is also probably not as much of an issue as when it was introduced. Nobody wants garbage like Bickel just to get to the minimum.
