One of the most interesting Flames prospects in the pool, Brandon Hickey came out of the gates earning comparisons to T.J. Brodie. This year, we tempered our expectations, placing him at #10, three spots down from #7 last year.
What happened? Let's find out after the jump.
A brief history
Hickey has been with the Flames org since he was selected with the 64th pick in the 2014 draft. A stalwart on the Spruce Grove Saints' (AJHL) blueline during his draft year, Hickey headed east to Boston University to play with the Terriers.
He immediately began turning heads.
