7. Sam Dickinson, D, London Knights (OHL)
Big, heavy, talented two-way defensemen don't exactly grow on trees. That's what you get with Sam Dickinson, who scored 70 points in 68 OHL games this season - at 6'3", and over 200 pounds.
He's a jack of all trades, with high end skating, a big shot, and the ability to move the puck. The concern I have here is, was his production inflated by being on an incredibly strong London team?
There are times when I question his decision making, and wonder about his hockey IQ. If you believe those traits can be ironed out, Dickinson is an easy choice inside the top-10 of this draft. He could be elite some day.
Why they should take him: He has all of the tools to become a top-four defenseman in the NHL.
Why they should avoid him: Does he have the tool box to put it all together?
