After Connor Murphy, Edmonton gets more from the Hawks.
The Edmonton Oilers just added defenseman Connor Murphy earlier this week, but they went back to Chicago to make another deal.
Elliotte Friedman reported on Wednesday night that Edmonton and Chicago were talking about a different trade.
Later, they agreed on a deal where the Blackhawks traded Jason Dickinson and Colton Dach to the Oilers in return for Andrew Mangiapane and a protected first-round pick in 2027.
The Blackhawks will cover half of Dickinson’s salary, making his cost to the Oilers about $2.125 million. The first-round pick is safe as long as it’s not in the Top 12.
Earlier this week, Edmonton gave up a second-round pick for Murphy.

This one would send Jason Dickinson to the Oilers. We will see how it turns out

Dickinson, who is 30 years old, is in the last year of a two-year, $8.5 million contract that costs $4.25 million against the cap. He will become a free agent at the end of this season.
He has been traded twice before, moving from the Dallas Stars to the Vancouver Canucks in July 2021 and then from the Canucks to the Hawks in October 2022, but he has never been traded at the deadline.
Colton Dach has scored three goals and has nine points this season in 53 games, which is his first full season in the NHL. Last year, he played for both the Blackhawks and their AHL team, the Rockford Ice Dogs.
As for Mangiapane, who will turn 30 in April, he has one more year left on his contract with a $3.6 million salary cap hit, and he was recently sent to the AHL to make enough space to. . . trade for Murphy.
