Agreed. If the Flames sign Stone in the offseason, chances are Hickey will not be a Flame next summer. Here's the minimum depth chart Hickey has to compare to when choosing other paths:
Giodano - Hamilton
Brodie - Stone
Kylington - Andersson
Fox
And chances are the Flames will congested the line-up with Bartowski, Engelland or whomever else.
So if Hickey only has to wait a few months to earn himself an NHL spot or top AHL minutes, I can't see him passing up on that
