Hickey was also projected to go late first round, early second round.
If the Kings really did think that Hickey would be better than Gagner (debatable since he never even played a game for him then they lost him on waivers), Alzner, Voracek, Couture (heck, even Ellerby) why not trade down?
That's the difference for me between that pick and Barker. It reeks of the "I'm smarter than everyone else" attitude which I hate so much in hockey.
