BananaMash Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That's awesome. I loved watching Hicketts on the Royals when I lived in Victoria for a few years. Really happy to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I am a big Hicketts fan, awesome for him! Was praying for the Canucks to take him with our last pick in the 7th round 2014, They took MacKenzie Stewart instead. Kronwall after watching him at his first training camp asked if he was the Wings 1st round pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He's also 5'8" and 177 lbs. We need, big, fast, skilled, and tough as nails. I wish him all the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As I said there's nothing wrong with smaller players. It's just clear from last night we need get get bigger, faster, and more skilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We've got our own Joe Hicketts and his name is Troy Stecher. That said, I'm happy for him. Shocked he was never drafted. Glad he's been able to battle his way to the NHL this fast. No doubt he'll stick on the Red Wings blueline in the next season or two (and beyond). Like a previous poster said, it would have been great had the Canucks selected him over Mackenze Stewart but, alas, that wasnt meant to be.

This team is way too soft and loses way too many puck and board battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
