Oilers Re-Sign Center Jason Dickinson to a 5-Year, $20 Million Contract
- On Sunday, the Edmonton Oilers signed forward Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $20 million contract, preventing the defensive-minded center from reaching free agency.
- Acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks in March, Dickinson was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, three days before his 31st birthday.
- Over 11 seasons, Dickinson has played in 566 games, scoring 75 goals and 97 assists. He became one of Edmonton's most frequent penalty killers after joining the team.
- General manager Stan Bowman cited re-signing Dickinson as one item on a lengthy off-season checklist as the organization pursues a Stanley Cup with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
- The contract carries a $4 million AAV through the 2030-31 season, keeping the shutdown center with the Oilers as the club addresses other roster needs including potentially trading defenceman Darnell Nurse.
