Jason Dickinson’s 20-Goal Surge Was an Outlier | Edmonton Oilers News

The Oilers just locked up Jason Dickinson to a five-year, $4M/year deal — pricey at first glance, but fair when you compare it to similar signings. He’s a defensive stalwart, but last season’s 22-goal explosion (a career-high) raises the big question: can he repeat it? His shooting percentage was sky-high at 17.5%, and he stayed healthy for all 82 games — factors that likely made last year an outlier. While another 20-goal campaign is unrealistic, even a modest uptick in offense could be huge, especially if he plays a shutdown role alongside top scorers like Nugent-Hopkins and Kapanen. The real win? If he delivers solid defense plus a little offensive spark, this deal could pay off big time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
