I wish him the very best. You sound like you're looking for an argument. Look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I don't know where I heard it, but thought that Dickinson cracked a rib or two? If so, guess he ain't getting moved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a bottom 6 shutdown center that can’t even play center. Doesn’t win enough FO’s and is a black hole offensively. Multiple years left on his contract. The guy has been bad this year. Hopefully he can turn it around next year but I just can’t see a team offering value back. I was stunned when the Devils rumour came out about a base trade of Zacha for Dickinson with unknown pieces obviously from our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billabong Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 For some reason it hasn't worked here in Vancouver for dicky, our pro scouts maybe stretched the likelihood of him being a full time center which I think that's where the canucks went wrong. He's a bottom 6 left winger with average penalty killing abilities. no one is lining up for that. the canucks have 2 options with dicky 1) hold on to him and hope he gets his game back and improves on faceoffs then decide to trade him or not 2) trade him for another struggling player with similar term and money on his deal there's a third option which isnt likely to happen.... 3) buyout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He's been pretty average considering Lammy is earning taking up less than half his cap hit and playing twice as well. 2.6M is far too much for essentially a 4th liner who sucks at killing penalties, average at defending and is scoring under 10 goals-per-season rate. I think the only way to trade him would be to a cap-dump-type team like Arizona or Montreal and throw in a pick. I wouldn't waste more than a 3rd rounder. Dickinson + 3rd to Arizona for future considerations, that's the only way we move him. Is a 3rd rounder worth it? The other option is we throw him into a bigger trade but I really hope management don't make any big trades any time soon with the way we're winning right now. The other option is we just stick with him and see if he gets better, he's a former 1st round pick and only 26, sometimes defensive centers take years to get into their prime and he may only reach it in his 30s. Finally, we'd need a replacement center and really don't have much on the farm. It may be easier to just keep Dickinson around until at least the off-season where we can try and unload him and sign a true 3C UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Didn't Dallas only trade him to us because of expansion? Maybe they'd give us our pick back? Otherwise, be patient with him. Every now and then I see potential with him. It just never lasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Dicky does can easily be replaced for a league minimum contract. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 So that’s where he is because I noticed he wasn’t in the lineup which has been very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
