  1. i know dickenson is good defensively, but where do his offensive skills lie? playmaker, scorer or energy guy?

      wasn’t he a 1st round pick?  So you figure there has to be some talent /skill there.  Could be just a question how him being able to translate it to the NHL level.

      I'm hoping it's a chemistry thing too. Sometimes with the right guys you just find your groove.  Heck look at JT when he joined VAN.

      Jason, is a defensive minded player with the puck and without it. Jason is often playing high and often elects to pass or shoot then make a play which might get him out of position. he is not a dangler.

       

      His shot is not very powerful or accurate compared to the top shooters it seems he may lack skill or confidence in his shot. 

       

      All that being said he makes simple but very safe plays with the puck, and he can grind his way back into dumped pucks and creates turnovers with his forecheck. Jason has been a very big part of the dallas team the last two years.

       

      As for his offensive type i believe he is a grinder/power forward type so there is some definite never realized potential still left in him.

       

      Dickinson could be the piece we we're missing the last two years with our bottom 9 centers with gaudette,beagle and sutter.
