NHL Draft: The Sharks selected defenseman Sam Dickinson No. 11 overall Friday.
Sam Dickinson is selected by the San Jose Sharks with the 11th overall pick during the first round of the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft at Sphere on June 28, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’m certain that the Sharks did not expect 6-foot-3, 205-pound blueliner Sam Dickinson to be on the board when they selected No. 11. After all, he was expected to be the third defenseman taken Friday — likely in the top seven.
Because of his uber-heavy shot and the connection to London, Dickinson has been compared to Oilers defensemen Evan Bouchard. He’s not perfect. He, at times, seemed flummoxed while starting a breakout with the Knights, but after his age-17 season, it’s not as if you’re drafting a finished product anyway.
As of Friday, though, the Sharks’ top blue-line prospects — Shakir Mukhamadullin, Henry Thrun, and Luca Cagnoni — are all left-handed shots, as is Dickinson.In the meantime, few players in the NHL can move like Dickinson, much less at the defenseman’s size it will give him an advantage the second he steps on the ice as a professional.I can imagine a world where he goes back and dominates the OHL next season.
