2025 Fantasy Outlook
After setting career highs in 2023-24 with 22 goals and 35 points across 82 appearances with Chicago, Dickinson took a step back last year, finishing with seven goals and 16 points in 59 outings. Injuries played a role in that decline, but that's a big backslide even if you just look at it from the perspective of points per game. There is room for him to do somewhat better in 2025-26, but the 30-year-old is a defensive center and is unlikely to ever hit the 20-goal mark again after averaging 11 tallies per 82 games since the start of his NHL career. He might provide you with about 40 PIM and 125 hits, though. Read Past Outlooks

Heading to Edmonton in trade
CEdmonton Oilers
March 4, 2026
Dickinson and Colton Dach were traded Wednesday to the Oilers from the Blackhawks in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 first-round pick, freelance insider Frank Seravalli reports.
ANALYSIS
Dickinson is the Oilers' latest option to fill a true third-line role, which means Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should be a full-time winger moving forward. Dickinson has just 13 points in 47 outings this season, but he's added 51 hits and 36 blocked shots. Look for Dickinson to also receive ample time on the penalty kill with the Oilers.

Dickinson was a decent source of depth offense in his second season with the Blackhawks in 2023-24, picking up 22 goals, 35 points, 126 shots and 143 hits while appearing in all 82 regular-season contests. However, the 28-year-old pivot only managed nine goals and 30 points in a similar role for Chicago in 2022-23, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his goal total dip significantly in 2024-25, particularly because he's rarely used on the power play. The regression risk is further highlighted by his 17.5 shooting percentage last year, by far the highest of his career. That means Dickinson should remain undrafted in the majority of fantasy formats.
Dickinson was a regular for the Blackhawks in his first year with the club, appearing in a career-high 78 games. He tied a career-best mark with nine goals and set a new high-water mark in points with 30. Along with that, however, came an ugly minus-29 rating and just one point with the man advantage. Chicago added plenty of veteran offensive depth plus Connor Bedard this offseason, meaning Dickinson is a prime candidate for a role reduction in 2023-24. He should still earn a spot in the lineup on a nightly basis, but it's highly unlikely he will produce enough to be a worthy pick in any fantasy format.
The Stars' expansion draft protection plans didn't include Dickinson, so he was shipped to the Canucks in July. The 26-year-old has shown defensive reliability while chipping in point totals of 22, 21 and 15 over the last three seasons, although he's yet to play more than 67 contests in a campaign. A first-round pick from 2013, Dickinson likely isn't going to enjoy a scoring explosion in Vancouver, as he's unlikely to see more than third-line minutes behind Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat. Dickinson could still challenge for a career-high point total if he stays healthy, and he should add 100-plus hits, but a lack of power-play time likely caps his scoring potential at 30 points.
Dickinson managed nine goals and 21 points in 65 appearances in 2019-20, a near duplication of his previous campaign. The 25-year-old forward found a consistent role in the lineup, typically as a middle-six player with penalty-killing duties. Dickinson is a natural center, which may be helpful to the Stars as they try to navigate missing Tyler Seguin for three-plus months to start the season. For 2020-21, Dickinson will likely play at around a 25-point pace while adding more than a hit per game. He'll also continue to see shorthanded minutes as a positive defensive player (plus-16 over his last 132 games).
Dickinson earned a regular shift in the NHL for the first time last year, scoring six goals and 22 points in 67 games, all career highs. A late first-round pick in 2013, the 24-year-old has never developed into a consistent offensive threat in the pros, but he uses his size effectively (106 hits last year) and has proven his worth as a bottom-six grinder. A lot would have to go wrong for the Stars this year for Dickinson to find himself in a key role, but after signing a two-year, $3 million deal to stay in Dallas, his roster spot at least appears secure.
Dickinson continued to fill a depth role up front for the Stars last year, splitting his time between AHL Texas and the NHL roster. He's got good size at 6-foot-2 and can bang in the corners, making him useful on a checking line, but while he did score 18 goals in 42 AHL games last season, as yet there hasn't been much sign that he could develop into a top-six power forward for Dallas. Signed to a one-year, one-way contract in the offseason, the 23-year-old should at least take a regular shift for the first time, giving him a better opportunity to demonstrate what kind of upside he really has.
The 22-year-old may have a tough time carving out a consistent role with the Stars this season. After scoring just nine goals and 30 points in 58 AHL games last year, he'd need to take a significant step forward to make an impact at the NHL level.
The 2013 first-round pick played his first full season of pro hockey last year and impressed. He showed off his significant offensive talent by scoring 22 goals and 53 points for AHL Texas. He won't blow the doors off the NHL, but he could develop into a solid middle-six forward capable of being a depth contributor on fantasy teams. He made his NHL debut last season, scoring a single goal in his one appearance. He has potential, but will have to battle for a roster spot in the Stars' stacked forward group.
At just 19 years of age, Dickinson is one of Dallas' most exciting prospects. He'll make the jump to the AHL this season after signing a three-year entry-level deal with the team. He spent last season in the OHL with a very good Guelph Storm team where he scored 26 goals and 78 points in 68 games. He's developing quickly and the team wants to help him. That means a full season -- and maybe two or three -- in the AHL. The big club is deep, so he'll only make an occasional appearance in Dallas as an injury fill-in. He's best served by getting a chance to dominate the A. Watch his development -- he could be fantasy worthy some day.

Dickinson is being discussed in trade talks between the Blackhawks and the Oilers, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The two teams just linked up on a Connor Murphy deal, and it looks like another move could be in the works. Dickinson would address the Oilers' need for a defensively responsible center, especially since Curtis Lazar is out for four weeks due to an undisclosed injury.
