The Chicago Black Hawks and Edmonds and Oilers pulled off their second trade this week, swapping dead players with a future draft pick in the mix. Chicago's Senters Jason Dickinson and 23-year-old Colton Doc to Edmonton for left-wing are Andrew Manjapan and a top 12 protected, first round pick in 2027. Earlier this week, the team's delts again when Edmonton grabbed defenseman Connor Murphy from Chicago for a 2028 second rounder. This latest deal stands out because of that valuable first round pick, helped by Chicago retaining 50% of Dickinson's salary. That dropped his $4.25 million cap hit to about $2.125 million for the Oilers who also shifted Curtis Lazartou. Long-term injured reserve Dickinson brings solid bottom six experience. With six goals and seven assists in 47 games this season, plus strong penalty kill time.

Meanwhile, Manjapani hasn't clicked in Edmonton after signing a two-year deal at 3.6 million per season. The 29-year-old has just seven goals and seven assists in 52 games, a minus 19 rating, and even got waived before an American, Hockey League stint. Both teams tweaked their roster's midseason, Edmonton bolster's center depth while protecting downside on the pick, and Chicago flips under performers for assets and cap relief.
