\u2018An atrocious deal\u2019: Oilers fans react with displeasure to trade for Dickinson, Dach<\/p>\n

Two hours later, various NHL insiders confirmed the details<\/a>: The Oilers acquired Jason Dickinson with 50 per cent of his salary retained, and Colton Dach in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and top-12 protected 2027 first-round pick.This trade, however, didn\u2019t receive the same love<\/a> as Edmonton\u2019s first deal earlier this week with Chicago for Connor Murphy, with fans split on it online. On one hand, some like the addition of Jason Dickinson, while many say this is an overpay on Edmonton\u2019s part.<\/p>\n

Jason Dickinson is a fine bottom 6 C who\u2019s very good defensively with no offence. He\u2019s a FA at the end of this season. I get you have to dunk Mangiapane but dude he\u2019s not worth a 1st AT ALL. Should have just dumped AM88 elsewhere first and then trade like a 2nd for Dickinson.<\/p>\n

Stan Bowman is out there filling up the holes this team has shown recently, he\u2019s fixing the defense [sic] by bringing Murphy and Dickinson with RETAINED SALARIES. Yet, people complain about a 1st round pick who won\u2019t be seeing an NHL game for at least 5 years.

Bowman is addressing our needs guys\u2026also remember that the big name guys usually dont pan out for playoffs. \u2013 Quincy_Rabbit via X<\/p>\n

Look, the Edmonton Oilers are OBJECTIVELY better today than they were 48 hours ago. That doesn\u2019t mean the asset management isn\u2019t terrible by Bowman. \u2013 AustinHockeyYT via X<\/p>\n

Fantastic work by Bowman! \u2013 Noel Rinsky via X
This is a pathetically bad trade man. \u2013 MikeBartner via X<\/p>\n

How is Jason Dickinson a 3rd line centre? If Bowman is sending a 1st for him, this is an atrocious deal. \u2013 Karman Gill via X<\/p>\n

Jason Dickinson is a legit 3C shutdown guy. Great move. Hoping there’s more if the oilers are moving a first.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s been a lukewarm reaction on social media to this trade. Not necessarily about the players Edmonton acquired, but about what the Oilers gave up in return.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so over. Fire Bowman into the sun. \u2013 Alexiamoss.bsky.social via BlueSky<\/p>\n

Good trade.. lets hope Knoblauch coaches them to have a roll and Identity. Cause if he just benches them and they only get to play 3 minutes a game just to give the top lines a short breather then they wont be able to do much. \u2013 Colton Dowhan via Facebook<\/p>\n

Steep overpay when the team isn\u2019t going far this year. Dallas, Colorado & Minnesota all own the Oilers this season due to more depth & better overall defensive play & goaltending. All these recent deals for pending ufa\u2019s that don\u2019t move the needle & could be picked up free in the off-season. Bowman continues showing he\u2019s not capable but keeps trying to show he can do \u201csomething\u201d, like wrecking the teams short & long term future. \u2013 Fay Mah via Facebook<\/p>\n

I love this for the oilers. We needed toughness big time and all three new players add that. Welcome to Oil country. \u2013 Pete Burns via Facebook<\/p>\n

Honestly good deal. Chicago isn\u2019t gaining much in Mangiapane, so you add some value for their side of things. Many Oilers fans are so one dimensional, they only see things from the Oilers\u2019 perspective. \u2013 Jtanasychuk19 via Instagram<\/p>\n

If I was to tell you our trade deadline targets at the beginning of the season would be Connor Murphy, Colton Dach, and Jason Dickinson, you would probably laugh and tell me I\u2019ve never watched hockey a day in my life. \u2013 Kiatt_nonos via Instagram<\/p>\n

Overpaid on the deal, tired of having to send out picks to compensate for bad contracts. That being said, Dickinson sounds great, and I love having more toughness. Murphy and Dach being added is a game-changer physically. \u2013 Harl000_ via Instagram<\/p>\n

I absolutely love this trade! Dickinson is a solid pk bottom 6 center! And dach will be a perfect future 3C! \u2013 gpagnotta17 via X<\/p>\n

The 2027 Edmonton Oilers 1st round pick (now Chicago\u2019s) won\u2019t play an NHL game before Connor McDavid turns 35. \u2013 Curtis Hirsch via X<\/p>\n

Stan Bowman wanted to size up his bottom-six, and he got exactly that with the additions of Dach and Dickinson. With that being said, that might be all the business we get from the organization between now and Friday\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The Oilers will have some time to integrate their new additions into the lineup; their next game isn\u2019t until Friday night when the Caroline Hurricanes come to town.<\/p>\n
