I don't blame anyone for having doubts. There is nothing we can do about it either way though, let's just hope he only wants his degree and then signs with the Flames next spring.
Greatly increase from what to what though? From 5% to 15%? From 2% to 10%?Lets not forget Hickey is Albertan and thus much more likely to sign here there an American who could go UFA.

Leopold signed here as an American after 4 years of College. I don't see the Albertan Hickey as being more likely to go UFA than Leopold was.

Some people just worry way too much about stuff that isn't in our control. Why write the kid off? Just so you're not as disappointed in case he doesn't sign? Seems so silly to me.
