HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

I had not known that Nickeas was another British Columbia native (like Jason Bay) until I checked his page here.
Already he has surpassed Joe Hietpas, Joe DePastino, and Francisco Estrada in the Mets Obscure Backup Catcher standings. Next stop: Jay Kleven.

You decide who should be the catcher of the Mets--I say Nickeas. I liked the way he worked behind the plate during Spring Training and the numbers so far this season prove he is the better catcher.
Through the end of April 21, 2011, in games Nickeas has started Mets are 3-2 with a 3.80 ERA. When Thole starts Mets are 3-11 with a 7.20 ERA.
Give me Nickeas.

The Mets traded the underwhelming Victor Diaz away to get Nickeas and got underwhelming results in return.
The Mets catching situation was in flux during the Nickeas Era and Mike himself didn't make things any better. He played just 73 games with New York, but it seemed like a lot more. Having him out there was drudgery. And when he finally departed, the guy who replaced him, Anthony Recker, wasn't much better.
On the bright side, he was one of the guys the Mets sent away to get Noah Syndergaard.
I also sent him an autograph request through the New Orleans Zephyrs in 2008, but he didn't respond. He did sign three cards for me in 2014 through the Buffalo Bisons in just one week.
