The Blackhawks acquired forward Jason Dickinson from Vancouver on Friday, but he won’t be with the team for the start of the regular season due to visa issues.
"Dallas, the way they played, had a pretty wide-open game plan a few years ago and they had a pretty offensive team, it was pretty potent," Richardson said."Him playing with those styles of players helps. And then going to Vancouver, maybe they're thinking bigger body, guy that can skate, fill in roles that they've lost that have been in those checking, penalty killing roles those last few years.
Dickinson has two years left on his contract at a $2.65 million cap hit, and it was the main motivation behind the trade for Vancouver. The Canucks needed to shed salary to get under the ceiling by Monday's 4 p.m. deadline and did so by shipping Dickinson to Chicago for defenseman Riley Stillman, whose cap hit is $1.3 million less than Dickinson's.
The cost of doing business for the Canucks was a second-round pick in 2024, which the Blackhawks acquired. The Canucks were also looking for a defenseman after Tyler Myers went down with an injury, so it made sense for them to go out and get a depth defenseman in Stillman.
