You can trade Kruger's rights for something of value. Though probably not a roster player, as you can't fit in any more.
Sending Bickell to Rockford is an interesting thought. I hadn't thought of it before this. Obviously a buyout was the preferred option, but he was injured during the buyout window.
What person honestly thinks were going to take a cap hit of 3.050 mil for a guy to sit? Hes gonna be on the roster if that's the case and maybe he'll be a healthy scratch here and there. Bury him and take 96% of his cap or GIVE him away to a team who needs a cap hit and retain MAXIMUM 50%?

No team needs him. You'd need to sacrifice a prospect to get someone to take him. Just retaining salary isn't enough of a motivation for a team to accept him.

And he has a NTC.
Okay, then he's on the roster..not gonna be buried with 96% of his cap retained, that makes no sense, whatsoever.
