What does the future hold for these guys? Will any of them have solid NHL careers, or are they classified as "busts"?

I thought the other two were busts, but now Hickey as well?

Hickey faces a few challenges-
1) Kings are so deep already at the NHL level.
2) Voynov is in front of Hickey
3) Deslaurius is not far behind
True, Teubert was traded away, but Forbort basically took his place as the more 'long-term' project.
Hickey will spend this year in the AHL. He needs to prove he can stay healthy a full season. If there's a call up for injury, probably will be Voynov first.
I'm not ready to call Hickey a bust, but, I dont think his future NHL career, should he have one, will be with LA.
Never heard of Deslaurius either.Who's that guy ?
I dont understand why the Kings signed Willy Mitchell in the first place. Personally I think that spot should have been for either Voynov or Hickey. Two prospect are being wasted in Manchester IMO.
Thanks Captain Obvious.To bring veteran presence on the blue line. Willie is still a top 4 defender, provided he stays healthy.
Thanks Captain Obvious.
Does not I agree with it. Greene is also a top 4 defender and is playing on the 3rd pairing now with a $3M cap hit.
There's still a lot to like about Hamill's game, and he's been impressive when called up. I think he could and will be an above average 3rd liner.
The Islanders could use a guy like Hickey. They desperately need a puck mover and PP QB even if Streit can come back.
Its very easy to call Esposito a bust, because he hasn't improved an iota since he was 16.Hard to call any of these guys busts just yet, as they all could still make their way to the show.
Hickey is NHL ready, he just can't break into LA's defensive unit. He could use more seasoning in the AHL, sure, but he'd certainly make a few opening night rosters as is.
What would Boston want for him? Maybe a prospect swap? (Not from a Toronto perspective, just in general)
Prospect swap would be ideal...maybe a pick. I see him as a secondary piece in another deal.
His value has to be pretty low, but every time he played with the big club he has looked pretty good. There is just no room for the kid. I was actually hoping Burke would make some kind of offer for him. He would have a good chance of making the leafs right out of the gate.
