Newly acquired player Josh Bailey bought out by Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks recently made a major announcement concerning a new player in the organization Josh Bailey.

Chicago acquired 1000+ games NHL veteran Josh Bailey earlier today and they made a surprising move right after.

They've place him on waivers in order to buy out his contract.

This move will save around $2.4 Million next season for the Hawks. However, they'll need to pay $1.7M the year after.

More moves are expected in Chicago and we'll keep you updated.
