2024 NHL Draft Prospect Sam Dickinson highlights with video breakdown and stats review from his season with the London Knights in the OHL. #nhldraft #hockey
this kid is a stud. His highlights do not accurately reflect how much he controls the game defensively. I’m the Kitchener Rangers season-ticket holder and he ate us alive
I saw a video a few months ago of someone breaking him down by his game in the 3 zones and he said certain games he will look great in the o zone and neutral zone and not great in his defensive zone then his next game he will be great in his own zone and struggle in the other 2. But if he can put it together and be good in all 3 consistently then he will be a stud top 2 defensemen.
He kinda reminds me of Jake Sanderson in his draft year. Big guy, skates well, has some offensive upside. As a Devils fan this season sucked, but picking him at #10 would be a nice consolation prize.
Think he might have higher upside than Sanderson. He's got a much better shot than Sanderson has. But I do agree with everything else, they do have similar style of play.
@@JZ_OTT As a Devils fan, we could definitely use a guy like prime Ryan Suter. Would probably be a good D partner for Nemec. At pick #10 I'm not necessarily looking for a true #1, although if he ends up being that then great, but all I am looking for is a very good player.
He's going to be gone before Detroit picks but that would be hilarious if they drafted him and then eventually paired with Seider.. Ken and Mick saying Dickin Seider would be hilarious
This is one of the higher rated prospects I haven't watched a lot of video of & thought he could slip a little, but for what he offers size, speed & power he has a huge potential. Puck control could be better but that could be worked on, could use his size and strength better, but holy heck, if he doesn't go top 5 or 6 it'll be a crime. So opinion changed.
@@JeanJames-ff3wx Totally agree but for me beside Celebrini, all the other forwards have big question marks... i rather draft the best player and figure it out later.
This guy is definitely a top ten pick and could be the top D taken in the draft. I would love for my Wings to get him but don't think he'll be there when they pick. If a team is in serious need of a stud D, he's the man.
@@nhldraftpros honestly besides Demidov i just see these defensemen being more impactful players first. But the forwards right below them will be solid contributors forsure.
All I gotta say is there's a reason he's not top 5 on most other lists. He's got weird decision making, possibly lacks vision, and sometimes will be soft on the boards. Definitely has the tools, but i wonder if some of the negatives we're seeing is from playing on a powerhouse, OR playing on a powerhouse masks bigger issues in his game
True...but I think there's a ton of special traits to work with...his skating, shooting, etc...given the right situation for progression, he could turn out to be a beast.
need to see a vid on Michael Hage! Im a flames fan so this whole picking a top prospect thing is new to me your videos are making things much easier thanks for all the good work buddy! I think I would prefer Yakemchuk over Dickinson.
I thought Carter Yakemchuk was better. And skating too. On defense, maybe Yakemchuk needs to improve. Dickinson throw reminds me of Pronger. Parekh is good in attack, but really weak in defense, even funny in some ways.
@@nhldraftprosj'avais oublié que tu étais francophone Lol j'avoue je vois pas en quoi il l'est parce que le classer top 10 c'est plus que mérité ses qualités sont indéniables même si je lui préfère Levshunov qui pour moi a un incroyable upside supérieur à Dickinson

This is the stuff I like to hear! An opposing fan giving props to a player...thank you for sharing!
He reminds me of Mike Matheson. Good skating, nice zone entries with the puck and not afraid to join the rush.
Seems like a dominating player. Thx for the video! Top 5 talent for me
Thanks Evan! I like his game too!

Agreed...so we know he has the abilities...he just has to put it all together.
Great vid on the best Dman in the class! I'd love to see Terik Parascak soon
Yup...he's on the list. Not sure exact date when he'll be out tho!

I’m an Ottawa fan & I don’t think they’re the same, Dickinson looks identical to Suter
@@JZ_OTT Ryan Suter?
@@Semaj2326yes

Underrated asl comment 😂😂😂😂

Hey is there a mid to late player with huge upside in this draft class, needs a lot of work but incredible potential
I've heard people say Dean Letourneau is that type. High school kid, big body, very high ceiling
@@craigstoner3014 thanks
@@craigstoner3014 YUP!
I’m pretty torn if the flames should take tij for the pedigree and vibes or a high end defenseman which we actually need badly
Can't go wrong with either TIJ or a top D!
Top D for sure. especially if a guy like Dickinson or even Parekh are available, gotta go with the D man
Can you do a series like last year that was something like,top 10 best scorers, best skaters, best play makers in the draft? Etc.
YUP...coming soon!
@@nhldraftpros you beauty
Please make it to #7 Sam
would love to see him on the PP with Hutson in Montreal!
me to but we need a top 6 forward so badly tho
Would be fun!
@@JeanJames-ff3wx True!

4. Levshunov
5. Buium

7. Lindstrom
8. Silayev
9. Iginla
10. Parekh

@@evannovitzke D always go high come draft day! Always!
hopefully my kraken get him at 8!
Such a great pick up!
Sasha Boisvert next?
Trevor Connelly next...but Boisvert soon!
@@nhldraftproshopefully !
Sort of reminds me of Pietrangelo.
He's going to ottawa

Thanks for watching! Hage is coming out soon! Probably in a couple of weeks. Cheers!

Similar to Pronger yes!
Love your videos. But London isn't a good-coached team. It's a well-coached team.
Overrated asf
Pourquoi?
You obviously don’t know what your talking about nimrod

@@user-ed6nt1ml6p Bien sur..Je pense que cela devient une preference personelle pour le defenseur dans ce repechage!
you mean underrated lmao
next should be connelly, dude had a great season but he is a monster right now in the U-18 tournament
That is who's next! Nice call!
