It’s interesting how we can all watch the same games and see different things.
I think his IQ and processing are excellent. Huge strengths of his game.I’m not as high on Dickinson as others seem to be
The tools are excellent, but his IQ scares me. I don’t think he processes the game at a high-end level.
I think this is the most impressive part of his game.In his own zone he’s an adventure. He tends to overcommit and over-pressure attackers. Or on the flip side not gap up, giving an opponent too much time and space.
It’s junior hockey. It happens.He’s often times getting caught high or completely losing his sense of space on the ice. He can look truly lost at times. It may not always seem egregious or end up costing him, because his size and skating bail him out.
I think in transition he’s incredible.In transition he’s a mixed bag.
He’s likely to be 4th or 5th on my list. I think he’s an elite prospect.I like Dickinson, but I’m not buying any top 10 hype. Let alone top 3. He’ll end up around 15 on my final list
