LAS VEGAS – Chris Morehouse clarified why the San Jose Sharks took Sam Dickinson with the 11th overall pick in the first round of the NHL Draft rather than fellow left-shot defenseman Zeev Buium.
“We took the guy that was next on our board,” Morehouse, the Sharks’ director of amateur scouting, said Saturday afternoon.
“He’s 6-foot-3, he skates, he can shoot a puck, he competes, he can make a first pass, he can defend. He can take games over with his size and mobility. He’s got outstanding character,” Morehouse continued.
