I disagree with those saying Hickey was worthless to us because we think he's going UFA next summer. While Treliving likely has this indication from Hickey's camp, he might still change his mind. Or who knows, maybe we're a high seed heading into the playoffs with some key injuries on D...that could be enticing for him to sign and jump right into the NHL playoffs on a solid team. Including Hickey hurts our prospect pool as it officially closes the door on his time in Calgary. Too bad as he seemed to at least have potential to crack the starting lineup in the next 2 years.
