The Chicago Blackhawks are set to send Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a top-12 protected first-round pick in 2027, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
LeBrun adds that the Blackhawks will retain 50 per cent of Dickinson’s salary.

As a result of trading the 2027 first round pick, the 2026 first rounder the Oilers sent to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Jake Walman last season becomes unprotected.
The #SJSharks now own Edmonton’s 2026 first-round pick unprotected to complete the Jake Walman trade:
It had previously been top-12 protected, unless Edmonton moved its 2027 1st, which is now going to Chicago (top-12 protected) in the Jason Dickinson deal.
