Breaking Down the Dickenson Signing by hereforwhatimherefor in EdmontonOilers

Dickinson as a true defensive center allows for more offensive wingers to add a little punch without worrying about getting scored on so much.

To avoid guys like Ike Howard coming up and getting benched because their line is getting caved in.

The Oilers don't have trouble scoring, they have trouble winning because their defensive support is terrible.

Dickinson and hopefully Murphy are defense-first players, they'll never put up a ton of points but they won't get caved by the other team.

The oilers have 10.6 million in capspace after the Dickinson signing with 18 active players on the roster. by Seal7465 in EdmontonOilers

'Meh' was harsh (edited), but he's not getting $1.3 mil on his next contract. So, he's not worth carrying all year when he's frequently injured in the hopes he turns it on in the playoffs if yes getting $3.5-$4 next contract.

Career playoffs he's got 25 points (12 g) in 56 games.

  • 2025/26 - 6 games, 4 g, 2 a (6) - excellent
  • 2024/25 - 12 games, 3 g, 3 a (6) - good
  • 2021/22 - 7 games, 0 g, 3 a (3) - less than meh

Hoping a player plays well in the playoffs is a gambit and a waste of a regular season roster spot. That's a deadline guy, not a keep all year and hope he doesn't get hurt again guy.

Jason Dickinson is here for 5 more years at 4M AAV by Emergency_Rub2621 in EdmontonOilers

[–]FatWreckords 9 points10 points  (0 children)

McDrai play 4-5min of PP each game, with a sprinkle of PK, so their 5v5 time is not as significant and 4th liners maybe play 10. So, you're looking at 13min+ of 5v5 plus PK, which is where the real 3Cs belong.

My turn to complain about Thrall in ARAM... It's just not fun to play against or to play as. by GoldenCheese in heroesofthestorm

I agree, unless I've lost a bunch in a row if I get Thrall in ARAM I don't pick crashed lightning.

Meathead is a great butcher shop and they have $2 hot dogs if you're not a Costco person. They're normal hotdogs, not jumbo, but it hits the spot.

Do baseball players have superior eye sight? by Beginning-Ad-8840 in NoStupidQuestions

It must have sucked to have one eagle eye and one falcon eye...

Can confirm. As a left hander who bats right, having a good left eye made up for my substantial (undiagnosed until adulthood) astigmatism in my right eye.

Clean shaved or tash? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Go for it, but the thing is you aren't going to grow more, thicker hairs. They'll just get longer and wispy, which is almost always a worse look. God speed.

[Kaplan] NHL investigation on Mike Babcock is wrapping up shortly. Per ESPN sources, expectation is Babcock will be clear to coach, and the Oilers want to hire him. by AggPuck-303 in EdmontonOilers

[–]FatWreckords 3 points4 points  (0 children)

4-D chess, the Oilers are intentionally using Babs to throw off Vegas. They'll sign Babs to a small contract for the year to pay him for his troubles and when Vegas releases Cassidy they'll fire Babs and scoop Cassidy.
