Blackhawks Predicted to Trade Dickinson

The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to trade center Jason Dickinson before the NHL trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston.

The Chicago Blackhawks are predicted to move defenseman-turned-center Jason Dickinson before the NHL trade deadline, as reported by The Athletic's Chris Johnston. Dickinson, a $4.25 million defensive specialist on an expiring contract, is described as ideal for a bottom-six role on a strong team.

The Blackhawks are unlikely to keep Dickinson through the weekend, as he doesn't fit Chicago's future plans. With multiple teams seeking a shutdown center, Chicago aims to capitalize on Dickinson's value before he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
