2025 NHL Draft: Lose a ton for Porter Martone

One time I had a squirrel ran past in front of my car from one side of the street to the other. And just as he was about to reach the other side of the street to safety, he ran all the way back to his original starting point right across my moving car, which almost ran him over. Essentially, he moved faster than he can process. From all the descriptions that I read about Dickinson, he is just that, he has good speed but lack processing speed.

And the more red flags Dickinson has shown, the more I hope we can get Schaefer. Dickinson isn't the savior I thought he was. But Schaefer, he could elevate Celebrini to dangerous new height.

Please everyone, think of Sam Dickinson's mother and don't run him over with your car just because he doesn't have NHL level processing speed.

If you enjoy watching Macklin at C, then you should want Misa to be a C in the NHL if he is drafted by the Sharks. I remember lots of the descriptions of Macklin last year, were that he was not really elite in any one area of the game and just very well rounded. That is essentially the same with Misa - a very high motor, committed 200ft game, intelligent and detail orientated playstyle. They both play a game from the C position that elevates their line mates. That is why I view Misa as a winger being a waste, since using Macklin as a winger would also be a waste.

Finally someone who expressed exactly what I think, whenever I watch Misa I see a Celebrini-lite. Misa is a potential elite 1C. Having him as 2C behind Celebrini would be insane. If I were GM of the Sharks I wouldn't think twice. And although I agree that Will Smith is excellent, I project him more as a winger, I would like to have all 3.
