Corey Pronman published his list of the biggest risers from the 2014 NHL Draft today and Calgary Flames 3rd rounder Brandon Hickey was named at the top of that list.
Quote:
Hickey has been one of the season's biggest risers in my eyes, playing at a very high level as an 18-year-old freshman in a tough conference. Hickey skates very well, has above-average puck skill, is very physical and has been effective on both special teams for BU. His reads could still use a little work -- as the quality of competition jump from the Junior-A level shows at times -- but overall, his talent level and intangibles stand out. Hickey has emerged as a player who will make the next top 100 drafted prospects list.
