The Chicago Blackhawks continue to rebuild their team as the draft approaches in the next few days, but it appears that one player could be on the move this year which would shock fans and teammates as he has become a favorite.
It's likely that general manager Kyle Davidson will make a move to trade Jason Dickinson from his roster in attempt to acquire more young talent while shedding his $4.85 million salary for this year. Trading this player does make a lot of sense as he is at the highest value he can be especially after his last season's production.
He had the best production of his career as he played all 82 games for the Blackhawks and had 22 goals with 13 assists and 35 points while being a + 4 with 43 penalty minutes. Head coach Luke Richardson had confidence in Dickinson and gave him a chance to thrive which he reciprocated with over twenty goals.
While some may feel keeping him on the roster would be the best option as he is 29 years old and has played for two other organizations who were the Dallas Stars and the Vancouver Canucks. But during a rebuild phase, any player with high value that can bring back value will certainly be looked at.
