Is Sam Dickinson the OHL's next breakout NHL star? His early season dominance certainly suggests a bright future. But can he maintain this torrid pace throughout the season, and more importantly, translate it to NHL success? What aspects of his game need further refinement for him to thrive at the next level? With San Jose seemingly committed to youth, could we see him in teal sooner than expected? Where does he rank among the Sharks impressive young prospects like Celebrini and Smith? Lets hear your predictions for Dickinson's career trajectory and how he fits into the Sharks rebuilding plans. Is he a future Norris contender or simply a solid top-four defenseman? What are your thoughts on the Sharks development strategy and their focus on young talent? Are they building a future dynasty or setting themselves up for another disappointing era? This is a chance to discuss not only Dickinson's potential, but the larger trends in prospect development and team building in the modern NHL.
