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.
You speculate on what Hickey is thinking and what Treviling is thinking along with what the future may bring. Brad is dealing with what the Hickey camp is telling him and the Flames situation today and he made the trade. What if Hickey doesn't sign with Arizona and he wanted nothing to do with the Flames? Where does that leave Arizona?
