"It kind of only kicked in when I looked over at the board and saw that my name was there for the roster playing, the 19-year-old Dickinson, who was taken 11th overall by the Sharks at last year's NHL Draft, said Saturday morning. It's pretty cool to see that, and then obviously everybody around the rink today has been extremely happy for me."
"Whatever they think is best for the team is what I want to follow, Misa told Bay Area News Group on Wednesday after it appeared he would be scratched for Thursday's season-opener against the Vegas Golden Knights. For me, it's motivation to keep practicing and working hard. I think my chance will come, and when it does, I've got to be ready to pounce on it."
"When Misa, drafted second overall by the Sharks in June, does enter the lineup, it's a question of who comes out. For the second straight game Saturday, the Sharks' four centers were Macklin Celebrini, Alexander Wennberg, Ty Dellandrea, and Adam Gaudette. Assuming everyone stays healthy, a possible option for Warsofsky in the future would be for Misa to play as the Sharks' third line center, move Dellandrea to the fourth line, and scratch Ryan Reaves."
Sam Dickinson, 19, will make his NHL debut for the San Jose Sharks after being listed in the lineup and was selected 11th overall in last year's draft. Michael Misa, 18 and drafted second overall in June, is expected to join the lineup soon per coach Ryan Warsofsky. Upcoming games include Carolina at home Tuesday, a trip to Utah Friday, and Pittsburgh at home Saturday. Misa described being scratched as motivation to keep practicing and be ready when his chance arrives. The Sharks currently use four centers: Macklin Celebrini, Alexander Wennberg, Ty Dellandrea, and Adam Gaudette. Possible adjustments include Misa at third-line center, Dellandrea moving to the fourth line, and scratching Ryan Reaves, while Dellandrea's line has produced scoring chances.
