Could not agree more. Although I still don't see Hickey making the jump this year, at least not the beginning of the season. I liked what I saw of Drewiske at the end of last season, so I'll be anxious to see how he looks in camp. Two final thoughts... Hal "the walking pylon Gil - that is absolute freakin' genius!! And while I love all Greener's quotes, my favorite was an interview where he mentioned needing to put the biggest part of his body in front of a puck -- and using his butt for that purpose... THIS is why we love Greener! EXCELLENT post Matt! Could not agree more. Although I still don’t see Hickey making the jump this year, at least not the beginning of the season.

He was solid in his showing last year. I'm not sure we need another veteran free agent presence in the defensive corps right now. Ideally Hickey will spend another year in Manchester (and used as an injury call-up). After next season, he will be ready. As for Harrold, he can be an extra body for the fourth line or a 7th defenseman. Personally, I don't care. As for Martinez, I don't remember him ever playing a game for the Kings. I could be wrong but I thought he played for Manchester all year last year. Regardless, he's expendable or a nice fixture for the Monarchs. I’d like to see Drewiske grab that 6th defensive spot.
