Chicago will retain 50% of Dickinson&#8217;s $4.25 million salary. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Dickinson, who has been serving as the Blackhawks\u2019 third-line center, has appeared in 47 games this year, recording six goals and seven assists for 13 points. The 30-year-old from Ontario has 168 career points in 549 regular season games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Dach has nine points in 53 games this season, and he\u2019s skated to a minus-15 rating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Mangiapane, who was recently waived by the Oilers, is headed back the other way primarily to make the cap numbers work. He carries a salary cap hit of $3.6 million next season. Mangiapane played one shift with the AHL\u2019s Bakersfield Condors earlier this week in his final action with the organization. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Edmonton hoped the former 35-goal scorer would add scoring punch to their lineup, but he contributed just 14 points in his 52 games this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">The 2025-26 campaign has been a tumultuous one for the Oilers, who are struggling just to stay in the playoff field as they look to get back to the Stanley Cup Final for the third season in a row. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">Prior to Wednesday night\u2019s slate, Edmonton <a class=\"text-secondary underline underline-offset-2\" hreflang=\"en\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/news\/teams\/nhl-standings\/2025\/division\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">owned a 29-24-8 record<\/a>, good enough to hold a four-point lead for the Western Conference\u2019s second wild card spot over the <a class=\"text-secondary underline underline-offset-2\" hreflang=\"en\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/teams\/san-jose-sharks\/line-combinations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Jose Sharks<\/a>, who had three games in hand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg\">General manager Stan Bowman has not sat idly by, though his first big move backfired as sending Stuart Skinner to Pittsburgh in exchange for Tristan Jarry has downgraded what was an already problematic situation between the pipes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mere days after a trade that sent Connor Murphy from the Windy City to Alberta, the Edmonton Oilers&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":515964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":{"0":"post-515963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edmonton","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-edmonton"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
