D Stu Bickel re-signs; 2 year-deal, $1.5 mil

By Steve Zipay

Sure Bickel made some mistakes and Torts didn't always trust him, but he's just 25 and drops the gloves (12 fights), so the price is fair. Provides reasonable toughness as a depth blueliner in a rugged division. Not an overpay for a young "enforcer". Better than Donald Brashear, no?
