Woof

Confirmed.

4 mil is decent. Probably a year too long, but that’s probably why it’s 4 mil rather than 4.5 or 5

Yikes!

Confirmed via the Oilers.

The Oilers have their 3C. Could be a steep cap hit if he doesn't increase production.

Doesn't seem all that necessary to hand out job security like that to a guy who has scored fewer than 20 points 3 years in a row.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for Jason. Was a solid pro here in Chicago

 

[Deranged Oreo]

That’s a steep price and term for Dickinson

 

[ManofSteel55]

Too long by a year or two, but after the rumored $5.5M cap hit, I'll take 4M.

Lets hope he can increase his scoring rate though. 4 points in 17GP isn't 4M cap hit production.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Wowzers! A high of 16 points in his last 2 years and often injured. The guy just won the $20 million lottery!

It’s a terrible UFA market - and his last uninjured season (which was ‘23-24) he had 22 goals and 35 points.

Learned nothing from last off-season

Do not love love but it’s low end 3C money in this new cap environment. I said all along 4 was my max so good on Bowman for not going to 5 I guess.

The Dick is in!!!!

 

[TheNewEra]

Oilers saw a Frederic at home and said let's get another one

That’s like saying good on my dog for just tearing up my bedroom and leaving the kitchen and living room unscathed!

Feels like a classic "He would have gotten more on the open market" betting against yourself kind of move.

At least Dickinson is an all around player who can contribute in both ends of the rink and on the pk. Hoping he can stay healthier.

They couldn’t be more different as players, this is a lazy narrative.

How does he contribute in the offensive zone? He has a high of 16 points in the last 2 seasons. He’s good defensively but a black hole offensively and often injured and not available.

What the hell?

This is pretty cheeky wording in the tweet lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

When this dude is a UFA you definitely think "man we need to give this guy 5 years".

Can't wait for Edmonton to now add a ton on top of Nurse to move him out to afford this deal too.

Agreed, but it’s also a big gamble on his health.

 

[PuckG]

Whatever, can’t complain too much. Term a tad too long but he’ll play the third line role for that term without issue. His job was never offence, nor are the Oilers short on scoring so not too egregious either way.
