2. Jason Dickinson

The Chicago Blackhawks are getting some good games out of Jason Dickinson.

Like Sam Lafferty, Jason Dickinson has been very good for the Chicago Blackhawks so far this season. He isn’t an offensive juggernaut or anything like that but he does have the capability of producing every now and again. The Hawks should strike now while he’s hot.

He is also like Lafferty in the way that he has been brilliant on the penalty kill. There are always teams that are looking to strengthen their special teams’ units throughout the regular season and Dickinson is someone that can provide that help in this area.

Through five games played this season, he has two goals and three assists for five points. Now, he isn’t going to be this point-per-game player in 2022-23 as his career high of 22 points came in 2018-19. He scored nine goals a year later in 2019-20 which is a career-high.

Production like that would be great with this Blackhawks team and whoever might land him in a trade.

A team that believes that they can make a deep run this year might be smart to add a player like this to help them in different areas of the game besides scoring too. While he is hot, the Blackhawks should already put his name out there.
