"Do we think we're seeing enough growth there? Do we see potential growth quickly in this league, or does it make sense for him to go back? Warsofsky said. Right now, we believe being right here is a good spot for him."
"Anybody in this situation would be lying if they said they just completely weren't thinking about it, Dickinson said. Obviously, thoughts come up. But it's nice to have people to talk to about it. Obviously (Michael Misa and I) are going through this together, so (it's nice to have) a guy like that to lean on."
Sam Dickinson has played nine NHL games for the San Jose Sharks and remained with the club as the team weighed whether to keep him or return him to the Ontario Hockey League. Dickinson logged 14:23 of even-strength ice time on the third pairing with Shakir Mukhamadullin in a recent 5-2 win, the Sharks' first at SAP Center this season. Playing a 10th game would burn the first year of his three-year entry-level contract and affect his restricted free-agent timeline and future pay. The Sharks can also loan him back to the London Knights. Coach Ryan Warsofsky and GM Mike Grier discuss Dickinson daily, and Warsofsky currently favors keeping him with the team. Dickinson, 19, said he had not received a decision, has brief daily contact with Grier, leans on teammate Michael Misa, and exchanges texts with his older brother Jack to manage anxiety.
