The 2014 NHL draft looked great, mostly because the Flames got Sam Bennett out of it. Once you delve past the first round, though, the shine on it fades... well, a fair amount.
The second best player the Flames selected out of that draft may have been their third round pick, Brandon Hickey. However, after adding his name to the conversation of defence prospects to look forward to, Hickey appears to have taken a step back in his sophomore year.
Season summary
After posting six goals and 17 points through 41 games with the Boston University Terriers as a freshman, Hickey dropped to just five goals and only eight points through 36 games in his second year of NCAA hockey.
