Dickinson vs. Levshunov: Who Would You Pick?

Hi there. Welcome back to thehockeynews.com. So let's talk about Sam Dickinson versus Archiem Leshinov. Sorry if I butchered that last name, but I want to talk about these two players in particular because they're the focus of one of our draft preview stories, this one done by Ken Campbell. You've looked at both players and kind of compared them to each other. I think the things that stand out for me are skating and physicality. Both of those factors favour Dickinson and he might not be as NHL ready as Leshenov is, but I think that that package that you want from a defence one is so valuable now that to me, Sam Dickinson is the higher draft pick, the guy that goes before Leshenov. And you know, you might have teams that are happy with both players no matter where they get them. But I think Dickinson has just got a bigger body. He's got that that fearlessness. I think he's, he's kind of built for the NHL game and it to me, he's, he's the guy that you ultimately will be happiest with between these two players. But you may disagree. I hope you keep coming back to The Hockey News each and every day to make your voice heard in the thn.com forums. You can also go to thn.com/free and subscribe to the magazine. Until next time folks, take care. I'm Adam Proto for thehockeynews.com.
