The Sharks traded up to draft defenseman Sam Dickinson at pick 11, considering him a steal for his projected top-ten value.
Forwards were prioritized early in the draft, offering the Sharks a choice between top defensemen Dickinson and Zeev Buium at 11th overall.
Dickinson's size advantage at 6-foot-3, 203 pounds, and strong performance with 70 points in 68 games made him an appealing pick for the Sharks.
Dickinson's ability in puck decisions, transporting, and special teams play, as highlighted by London's Rob Simpson, provides the Sharks with a promising defensive asset.
