After signing a professional try-out contract with the New Jersey Devils last month, 2007 4th overall pick Thomas Hickey has been released according to TSN's Chris Johnston.

Hickey, 33, became an unrestricted free agent this summer after spending parts of the first nine seasons of his career with the New York Islanders. With no contract offers coming in, Hickey had to settle for a PTO.

The Calgary native spent the majority of the 2021-22 season in the AHL with the Bridgeport Islanders and Ontario Reign. In 44 games, he put up 18 points (six goals, 12 assists), 18 penalty minutes and was a plus-15. He added two assists in five playoff games with the Reign.
