Danny O'Regan (the other top forward) and Matt Grzelcyk (#1 defenceman) are NHL draft picks that have another year of NCAA eligibility, but may forgo that to start their pro careers.

Their #1 goalie is expected to be going pro.

If those guys leave the program it will probably take 2 years at least before BU is this competitive again.
With that in mind would Hickey benefit from turning pro? He's had an excellent season – could he carry on that development path in the AHL?
