Blackhawks Predicted to Trade Dickinson

The Blackhawks are looking to move the $4.25 million defense-first center before his contract expires. Dickinson, who specializes in smothering opponents and excels as a penalty killer, has produced strong underlying metrics despite being fed defensive-zone starts.

With multiple teams seeking a center like Dickinson, the Blackhawks need to capitalize on his value before losing him for nothing. His role overlaps with Maple Leafs' Scott Laughton, potentially making him an attractive option for clubs unable to acquire Laughton.
