Sam Dickinson's First Media Availability As A San Jose Shark

[@ZGangsta]

What a great character kid. I can see him having an A or C on his sweater down the road. Great selection!

[@imthebeatplug_8319]

Captain material. Seriously such a well spoken young man. Honored to have you in San Jose!

[@schrotestthehero]

This kid is STOKED. Love it

[@4455badass]

So happy with our draft

[@amatt2116]

This is a kid that just got drafted and instantly bled teal. Love his attitude and drive.

[@mayhemjr.803]

I like this kid's attitude. He's genuinely excited to be a Shark!😂

[@SakicFan]

So do I. I was genuinely surprised when San Jose called his name because I didn't expect him to fall to 11th. I had him going 4th overall in my Mock Draft.

[@connorgoodin8065]

This interview actually blew me away. Was very disappointed we passed on buium until I saw this. Plus the kid can fly and has a rocket.

[@SJallday13]

Freaking stoked for this kid. I know people wanted Buium but I think this is the right selection through and through. Two way, big body. One of the youngest in the draft. Thrilled he fell into our lap. Blue chip!!

[@nathanbaca5131]

I thought for sure he'd be gone in the top 10. Stoked to have Sam in SJ.

[@nickmelin248]

YAY SAM good luck wouldn't be shocked if the sharks have to make a hard decision after camp

[@mannyv4445]

Great responses to all the questions!

[@operasinger2126]

Welcome to San Jose, Sam! Right on!

[@brandongraham4816]

Kid conducts himself well. Commands a room. He had a C on his sweater once before.

[@jefferywicks3632]

Looks good in teal!

[@quanemerson1054]

I hope that he, and Will Smith ignite the Shark's future to cup wins.

[@4455badass]

Only the start

[@dewd4479]

Coming to the Bay and rocking 24, got a special feeling about this kid

[@LockedOnSharks]

They all wear 24 right now since the draft is in 2024

[@davidsperber4435]

The bite is back!

[@InstituteOfLos]

Sam had the 2nd highest on ice testing at the CHL Top Prospects Game. He was first in the 30M Forward Skate with Puck and first in 30m Backwards Skate with Puck. He also finished second in the 30m Backwards Skate Without the Puck. Carson Wetsch finished 3rd overall. 🦈

How did we have a choice between him and buium at 11 omg
