Hicketts doesn't have much a future either in my opinion so not all that worried about reps for him. Hopefully we can pick up a pick or something for Jensen. Custance has said he thinks there is a market several times. So that is good. But we could also wait a month into the season and move him then as well. I am more interested in seeing Sulak than Hicketts at this point. I don't think either guy is going to do well at the NHL level right now though.
I am not seeing the impressive pre-season Fox Sports Detroit and Jeff Blashill are seeing apparently. He looks like the fourth guy to me, really Vili has been pretty impressive but he needs the development time in GR. Hicketts if we are going to rotate him in and out of the lineup will probably be fine though. I think his makeup can handle not playing every night and alternating with Jensen so maybe that is a part of the thought.
