Most scouts don’t think so.
In an Athletic poll of execs and scouts, they asked them all who the best skater in the draft was. Dickinson got multiple votes (the only other prospects to get multiple votes were Lindstrom and Parekh). He was second in scoring among draft-eligible d-men (after Parekh), with 70 points in 68 games, and he’s outstanding defensively. And this in a 6’3” frame, and with lauded leadership qualities.
Since Utah, Seattle, and Ottawa will likely all take d-man, it’s probably a moot question anyway. Unlikely Dickinsen drops to Calgary.
