## Resource

Jason Dickinson just signed a five-year, $20M deal with the Oilers — a massive commitment that locks in a defensive anchor for the foreseeable future. With a $4M cap hit annually, the first three years feature a full no-movement clause, giving him control over his trade status, while the final two years open up to a 16-team trade list. He’s also getting $1.5M in signing bonuses for the first three years and $1M each for years four and five. Known for his elite defensive play — above-average in shutting down opponents, even if his offense is average — Dickinson’s impact is felt most on the third line. Acquired in a savvy deal involving a future first-rounder and a winger, he immediately delivered points in both regular season and playoffs. This is his sixth NHL contract and a smart move by the Oilers to solidify their bottom-six with a veteran who’s proven he can elevate his team’s performance when he’s on the ice.
