EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers have completed another deal with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Edmonton has acquired centre Jason Dickinson and forward Colton Dach from Chicago in exchange for winger Andrew Mangiapane and a conditional first-round draft pick in 2027, the NHL team announced Wednesday.
The Blackhawks retain 50 per cent of Dickinson’s $4.25-million salary cap hit on a contract set to expire at the end of this season.
