So Vancouver overpaid for Dorsett as well I suppose, or that's the going rate for a physical 3/4th line W that can play a regular shift.
As others have mentioned, our scouting staff thought so much of the prospects available at the Pittsburgh pick that they traded the pick away. Obviously they see something in Hickey and were comfortable with him as a prospect that they didn't see the need to use the pick.
