Thomas Hickey isn't any closer to playing in the NHL.

Now that I've beaten Perry/Boyle thing to DEATH - I had to find something NEW to bitch about for the NEXT four years.

(And in a former posters blog, the former director of scouting claimed if he had it to do again and again, he STILL would have taken Boyle over Perry - I'm so glad he's gone)

Matt, your act is getting old, it really is. I KNOW you're not nearly as stupid as you are purposely making yourself look.

Not to mention wasting a year of restricted free agency.

I wouldn't take Gagner over Hickey. Voracek on the other hand...

Right now, I'd rather have Voracek putting up 2pts/gm in the Q than Gagner putting up 0.55 pts/gm in the NHL. Just image next season...

Sully-Kopi-Brown
Frolov-Stamkos-Voracek

...with Cammi traded for Suter, who is a better, bigger, readier version of Hickey.

Jakub is a solid 6'2'', btw.

Anyhow, if prior to my first post in this thread there was an alottment of free alcohol for my sorry ass - I hereby bequeath it to lunchbox, because she's cool. FYI, she doesn't like sugary drinks.

That's probably what the Buffalo Sabres said about Brian Campbell.

Will someone who's going to the Breakfast w/ the GM please ask Dean how he defines "longterm investment" in this new era where the CBA makes guys UFA between ages 25-27 and smallish defenders like Hickey will take years before they're ready for NHL prime time?
