Despite the excitement surrounding the addition of Connor Bedard, the Chicago Blackhawks are well aware that they are in the midst of a rebuilding phase, and their performance this season may not place them at the top of the NHL standings.
Given their ongoing efforts to rebuild, it's become increasingly clear that one player with an expiring contract, Jason Dickinson, could become a valuable trade asset this season.
A strategic player
Jason Dickinson made significant strides last season, delivering a noteworthy performance for the Blackhawks after his trade from the Vancouver Canucks. With nine goals and a career-high 30 points in 78 games, he showcased his potential to be a valuable addition to a team's bottom six, particularly if some salary is retained in the deal.
While Dickinson has experienced a somewhat slow start to this season, tallying just two points in seven games, his substantial role within the Chicago lineup suggests that there's room for improvement as the season progresses. As the trade market heats up, keep an eye on Jason Dickinson as a potential name to watch.
