Blackhawks Trade Dickinson, Dach to Oilers for First-Round Pick

  • On March 4, 2026, the Blackhawks traded Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to the Oilers for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, sources say.
  • Chicago aimed to clear roster spots and add a future pick, while Edmonton sought a shutdown centre to protect Connor McDavid and ease top-line matchups before the March 6, 2026 deadline.
  • Chicago will retain 50% of Dickinson's $4.25 million cap hit and takes on Mangiapane's $3.6 million charge, using its last retention slot.
  • Chicago cleared roster spots by moving Dickinson, while Edmonton added depth alongside Connor Murphy, leaving about $500k in short-term cap flexibility.
  • The 2027 first-round pick is top-12 protected, possibly sliding to 2028, while Dickinson, a pending UFA, faces July 1 decisions; buyout could incur a $2.93 million cap hit next season and $333K the following season.
