Matthew Barry: 7 Million a Year Doughty? For What?
Hey Drew!
Thomas Hickey has more goals.

You plays defense? Great. There were 75 guys that could play defense for half the price (like Mitchell, Scuderi and Greene).
What the hell are the Kings paying 7 million dollars for?
-6?
You make more than Kopitar. You make more than Carter. You make more than Richards...
Matthew Barry: The Grenade
Why didn't you warn me?

I drank something called "The Grenade"

I laughed when someone told me Thomas Hickey has more game winning goals than Drew Doughty.

Where is my hotel again?
Chicago is undefeated. How come Jamie Kompon couldn't do this for the Kings...
Dee Karl: Thomas Hickey Debut in Winnepeg!
Finally! The news I've been waiting for!
Thomas Hickey will skate for the Islanders tonight in Winnepeg against the Jets as he replaced Finley. Eric Boulton will sub for Casey Cizikas and Nabokov will be in goal.
When asked why he chose Hickey over Martinek, he said he knows what Radek can do, but he needs to see Hickey in game situations. Good move Jack!

Matthew Barry: My Take on the Kings Selections
TANNER PEARSON - 1-30
Okay, so everyone says nice things about the kid. Two way player. Good hockey sense. But will he be Brayden Schenn or Colten Teubert? Drew Doughty or Thomas Hickey? Years from now there are gonna be a lot of Kings fans who are full of crap when they tell you, "This is the kid I wanted at #30!"
NIKOLAY PROKHORKIN - 4-121
How can you trust a guy...
Matthew Barry: Rumors
Is the party over yet?
Nah.
Depending on who you talk to, Kings former #4 pick and RFA (with a 1.3 mil NHL cap hit) Thomas Hickey has asked to be traded.
The Kings don't have 2nd or 3rd round picks this year and Lombardi and his staff have made a killing in the 2nd round (Toffoli, Clifford, Voynov, Moller, Simmonds), so look for Hickey to be moved soon for an early...

Chemistry brewing between Kings trio
For a team to experience regular and post-season success, contributions must come from all four forward lines. When the playoffs roll around, the stronger teams will have their top-six forwards settled and hopefully clicking, combined with hard work and strong chemistry from third and fourth lines in a depth role.
