That was a fun discussion lolDickinson has 69 games left to score 14-19 more goals.
Yep. The concerns about lack of offence, faceoff ability/ability to play C, and overpaying based on comps (Hartman 3 x 1.7) are so far coming to fruition.

worth noting that Ryan Hartman has 7 points in 12 games thus far (six goals.)
We might have been too generous to Dickinson with our comps.
Just brutal on the 1st goal

Someone has to replace BeagleWhy do we need this guy? We have foundational culture carrier Brandon Sutter to lock down the 3rd line C spot. Oh what? He didn't quite work out? I'm sure this time, Jason will though, ha ha hah
I was reading Dayal's article in the Athletic that came out prior to last night's game. Dayal was quite praiseworthy of Dickinson's 5 v 5 play. He called him "a legitimate difference-maker" and a "huge upgrade from seasons past where the third line has routinely been outscored by huge margins." Now he might have been propped up by Garland and Pods but according to Dayal, 5 v 5, he does have "the seventh-best shot suppression rate of all NHL forwards" and "the best shot share of all Vancouver forwards." Again that was before last night.
If only Dickinson can improve his faceoff skills and put up a bit more offense...
So I guess he hasn't been as bad as the eye test suggests. He might be one of those players who look a whole lot better on a good team or when we actually have a 1C producing like a #1C.

It's almost axiomatic that when Jimbo coughs up a draft pick for a player from another team and then re-signs him, it just never works out. Dickinson cost us a third rounder. But Sutter cost a second; Gudbranson a second and fourth; Pouliot a fourth; Pedan a third; Vey a second; Baertschi a second; Prust a fifth; Schmidt a third; and those are just ones I can remember. There's probably others.
So Dickinson is just the latest in a long list of bad trades doubled down by signing the guy to a new long-term deal. After awhile all you can say is 'whatever'.
Except for the playing the center part, the expectation was for him to anchor the 3rd line.Dickinson has been about as good as anyone should've reasonably expected, and performed basically how I thought he would coming in.
Oh he's an anchor alright.Except for the playing the center part, the expectation was for him to anchor the 3rd line.
We are all getting infected by the pastor way to explanations. It was all part of the plan, we got our 3rd line anchor.Oh he's an anchor alright.
