NHL Draft 2013: Stars select Jason Dickinson with No. 29 overall pick

The pick was the team’s second first-round selection in the 2013 Draft, as the club picked Valery Nichuskin with the No. 10 overall pick.

Here is a profile on Dickinson via Hockey’s Futures:

Dickinson has the size and potential to translate his game into a true power forward role. However, he’s still a little lean and inconsistent in both to be assured of success.

A better playmaker than scorer, Dickinson is a high-risk, high-reward prospect. He’s shown flashes of elite talent and potential, but has not been able to do so consistently. Dickinson’s a challenging player to project because he could develop into a coveted power forward, or he could find himself as a career minor leaguer.
