Confirmed Trade: [VAN/DAL] Jason Dickinson for 2021 3rd round pick

[MrHeiskanen]

Middle six is being generous, he is a bottom six player for sure.

 

[Unspecified]

Man games lost should drop for Dallas now. Guy is an injury magnet. Still a good 3rd/4th line player.

 

[vanarchy]

This is... a good trade. What in the hell?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Happy for Dickinson as he’ll get a defined role on Vancouver as a shut down 3C where as Dallas he’s been used as a utility player. The guy needs to where a full cage out there though he’s a stick and pick magnet

 

[TheNorthStars]

Gonna miss ya Dick, good luck in Van

 

[canuckster19]

HF agreeing that both teams did well, especially Benning... has hell frozen over?

Like the pickup myself, as other's mentioned we need a cheaper and more useful bottom 6.

 

[Regal]

I like the move. The Canucks desperately needed a 3C who can play defense and free up Horvat a bit. Hopefully his new contract is decent though.

Ah yes, so he is our Sutter replacement.

 

[Peter Griffin]

My guess is he’ll sign a 3 year deal in the $2.5-3M AAV range.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

My guess is he’ll sign a 3 year deal in the $2.5-3M AAV range.

$3M for Dickinson is very rich. He is the same player he was at the end of 2018-19 when he signed for 2 years, $1.5M .. he has shown nothing more really he is a 20 point, decent center.. $2M max.

Always scared of what Jimbo does after he makes a good move

He has to sign Dickinson first, so wait to see the numbers lol

 

[serp]

He's a suprisingly good 3on3 player by the way. Much better offensively there than 5on5.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Love the suspense and these big names being thrown around and it’s Dickinson for 3rd

 

[48MPHSlapShot]

Seems like a quality bottom 6 player, and we desperately needed to shore up our bottom 6.

Honestly, Benning's trade record isn't good, but it's not the complete dumpster fire some would have you believe.

His free agent signings though? Different story.

As a Canucks fan this trade was a huge wave of relief — I think we were afraid of the big move and what damage that may have done to our future assets or capspace.

 

[Siludin]

I should hope so. McCann is already on his fourth team now.

Lockeroom issues. Remember Bartkowski's mom called him out when she was drunk on the radio? Canucks traded him in the offseason for Gudbranson and everyone was salty, because McCann looks like a decent NHLer now, but he keeps getting passed on anyway. Gotta read between the lines a bit. I think McCann has a weight on his value.

 

[Siludin]

The Canucks should stock up on band aids. No one takes more high sticks than Dickie.

Good money puck move? lol

Dallas said to Vancouver:

 

[DFF]

First Bishop waived his NMC and then Robertson is traded. The Stars were apparently very determined Francis wasn’t getting any notable names from them. It’s Adam Mascherin time (or whatever).

There is a huge difference between Robertson and Dickinson?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Seems good. Canucks under Benning seem to have a habit of acquiring theoretically good bottom 6 players and then overpaying them and getting little from them. I like Dickinson though, hope that won't be the case this time.

 

[Kcb12345]

As a Stars fan, I liked Dickinson more then Faksa tbh. Good deal for the Canucks and a good deal for the Stars. Fair trade all around and the Stars don't lose Dickinson for nothing

 

[Guttersniped]

I meant Dickinson, since he was the dude traded, I just wrote the wrong name.

 

[wonton15]

A trade where Benning didn't get destroyed and both fanbases are decently happy with. Wow cool. I'm okay with this trade.

This is my main worry, seems like a decent pick up but I hope he’s able to be a difference maker on the ice.
