Dickinson and Colton Dach were traded Wednesday to the Oilers from the Blackhawks in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson is the Oilers' latest option to fill a true third-line role, which means Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should be a full-time winger moving forward. Dickinson has just 13 points in 47 outings this season, but he's added 51 hits and 36 blocked shots. Look for Dickinson to also receive ample time on the penalty kill with the Oilers.

The Blackhawks don't resume play until Feb. 26 against the Predators, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Dickinson recover in time to suit up for that matchup.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson has six goals, 10 points, eight PIM, 41 hits and 27 blocks in 36 outings in 2025-26. Colton Dach was originally projected to be a healthy scratch due to Andre Burakovsky's (illness) return, but Dickinson's absence is slated to keep Dach in the lineup.

Dickinson scored a goal and recorded three shots on net in Monday's 2-0 shutout win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Dickinson's tally over halfway into the second period would stand as the go-ahead goal in Monday's contest, with goalie Spencer Knight keeping Winnipeg off the scoreboard. With the twine finder, Dickinson is up to six goals, 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits and 27 blocks through 36 games this season. While he has supplied four goals since Dec. 16, his offensive production has taken a step back from the consecutive 30-plus point regular seasons that he posted to begin his tenure in Chicago three campaigns ago. He still has time to reach the 20-point mark this year, but his lack of high-end category coverage likely leaves more desirable options available in deep fantasy leagues.

Dickinson scored a goal on three shots, added four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blues.
