Mik nver seemed to get in a grove here in Syr during his rehab stint. Almost made me forget how bad a player Oberg seems to be.
As for Bickel, do not count him out. He has size, can play forward or defense, and will not hesitate to stand up for his teamates. He played here brielfy under the Ducks Daze. The only issue seemed to be he did no see eye to eye with Holick. He was shipped off and has played several games in the NHL since. Jeremy Reich had a similar story but with Cbus. Could not crack the lineup for the worst team in the league so they let him go. Went on to play for the Bruins for a few seasons and seemed to do quite well.
While Mik may have more potential, if you are looking for a player to step in a give you a consistent effort, I go with Stu. Perhaps a change of scenery would do both well. Question is, how do the Rangers sweeten the deal?
