Overview
- Both teams confirmed Edmonton acquired Jason Dickinson with 50% salary retained and Colton Dach, sending Andrew Mangiapane and a top‑12 protected 2027 first‑round pick to Chicago.
- The first‑rounder carries conversion terms that permit Edmonton to transfer its 2028 first if the 2027 pick falls inside the top 12, with an automatic 2027 transfer if the 2028 first is traded before the 2027 deadline.
- Because Edmonton traded its 2027 first, a prior condition from the Jake Walman deal makes the Oilers’ 2026 first‑round pick to San Jose unprotected.
- Dickinson arrives on an expiring $4.25 million contract as a two‑way, penalty‑kill option and projects as a short‑term rental; Dach, 23, provides physical bottom‑six depth.
- This is the clubs’ second trade in days after Connor Murphy moved to Edmonton, and Chicago’s retention on Dickinson comes as Mangiapane departs after clearing waivers with two years at a $3.6 million AAV.
