## Resource

Jason Dickinson’s free agency could be a make-or-break moment for the Oilers, as he eyes a potential $5M+ contract — a jump from his current $4.25M deal. Acquired at the trade deadline for a conditional pick and Mangiapane, Dickinson’s value lies in his elite defensive play and penalty-killing, not offense — especially highlighted in the playoffs. With centers like Coyle and Malkin commanding big money, the Oilers face a tough choice: pay top dollar to retain him, or find a cheaper, equally capable alternative. With cap space but other priorities, this decision could reshape their roster strategy for the next season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
