Thomas Hickey sure to crack the lineup next year

[Nickarino]

So I was in Barnes and Noble this afternoon and I picked up this months issue of The Hockey News magazine. It had lists of top prospects and lots of good draft info as well. I kind of always thought they were fairly reliable but when I turned to the Kings section and I read that Hickey is "sure to crack the lineup next year" I thought the only appropriate mention of crack should be the crack these guys were smoking when they wrote that. They also said that if Trevor Lewis rounds out his all around game he should be a 3rd line contributor next year as well. I think they are ****ing crazy, but I hope they prove me wrong. Anybody else subscribe to this thing and read this crazy talk!

With Lubo, Preissing, Harrold and Hickey all on the same D-corps the Kings would physically dominate every game!

i hope you all realize that it is our own rich hammond from inside the kings who is the kings contributor to the hockey news and the one who wrote that future watch feature.

regardless, it's still quite a stretch to say that.

The only crack you need to be doing is the one you just got to by removing that young ladies panties.

Question #1, have you ever watched him play a game?

I have watched Hickey play a couple of games in Seattle. He is an incredible player to watch. I think he will be a real up lift to our blueline either next year or two years from now after a year in Manchester.

Hickey plays with more grit than Lubo, Preissing and Harrold combined. He's got to fill out a bit more, but I would not describe Hickey as soft.
