If I were Stan Bowman, I'd accept this in a nanosecond. Chicago improves at 2 positions, gains cap space this season, AND dumps the remaining year on Bickell's contract for essentially just a first round pick as a sweetener. They could then probably re-sign Russell for a bit more than what Daley makes now. Unfortunately, I feel like Calgary could get a lot more for Hudler/Russell.
