So Brandon Hickey is probably our front-runner for best prospect that doesn't get talked about, right?

Gilmour and Gaudreau are brothers.

Yeah, I'm of the mindset he's on a three year trajectory before he turns pro.

That pick might be the sneakiest of last years draft.

The few times I've seen him speak Brandon Hickey always comes across as a well spoken, smart and very poised individual.

Could have a bit of a coming out party if he makes the World Junior team next Christmas.

For fun, here's what Tod Button had to say about Hickey right after the draft:

Brandon Hickey
  • excellent skater, world class skater
  • bit slight, has good frame
  • lot of room to put on weight and strength
  • down the road see a 6'1.5'' - 6'2'' 200lb defenceman that can move the puck and can really skate
  • going to a good program at BU, very good at developing players especially defencemen
  • 2,3,4 years away but [NCAA] path will be beneficial

Also worth mentioning he was all over the top 10 lists for the strength testing that draft:

What's worse? Gaudreau with his backwards hat at school when they are honoring him? Or Hickey looking like he is homeless in the pressbox when invited by the big club?

Jankowski looks like he is starting to fill out a bit. He could be a big boy in another year or two.

Such an underrated pick. He's very much a lock to make it in the NHL just by his skating ability and size.
