Sharks Select Impressive Defenseman Dickinson with 11th Overall Pick

The San Jose Sharks made a significant move in the 2024 NHL Draft by selecting defenseman Sam Dickinson with the No. 11 overall pick. Dickinson, who spent the last two seasons with the OHL’s London Knights, was known for his reliability and skill on the ice. This pick was especially notable as the Sharks traded up three spots to secure Dickinson after acquiring the No. 14 overall selection in a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins involving Erik Karlsson.

An NHL scout had high praise for Dickinson, highlighting his steady play, intelligence, skating ability, and overall skill as a defenseman. During his final season with the Knights, Dickinson recorded an impressive 70 points with 18 goals, 52 assists, and a plus-56 rating. This success on the ice has positioned Dickinson as a key addition to the Sharks’ growing pool of talented prospects.

The selection of Dickinson reflects the Sharks’ commitment to strengthening their defensive core and building towards a successful future in the NHL. With an eye towards accelerating the team’s rebuild, Dickinson joins a promising group of prospects who aim to bring the Sharks back to prominence in the league.
