Blackhawks to Trade Dickinson Before Deadline

The Athletic's Chris Johnston lists Dickinson on his trade board, noting he would be a valuable addition for teams seeking a defensive-minded center. As a defense-first specialist who excels in penalty killing, Dickinson could fetch a return for the Blackhawks.

With his expiring contract and lack of fit for Chicago's future, the Blackhawks are unlikely to head to the weekend with Dickinson still on their roster, according to Johnston's analysis.
