As long as its without any NTC/NMC baggage it'll probably be movable.. he'll be 35 at the end when he's UFA.
Its likley the UFA market price but still at least 1 to 2 years longer than ideal .. he was being paid 4.25M by Chicago so he wasn't shootn for the moon on this one.
Well thats half of Nurse's cap used now.. at least its not 4M x 8 like Fred!
Not looking good for an affordable Murphy signing.. Stanley doesn't seem like much of a grinder.

I'm ok with the contract. Not great, not terrible.
Not exactly an ironman and players don't usually get more healthy after the age of 30.
My bigger concern is that they are going to let Kapanen walk. I hope I'm wrong but this management team is unable to recognise and prioritise the players that deliver in the playoffs. Hence letting Brown, Perry, kane, hollo/berg go for nothing.
Who will this years version of mangiopani or skinner be?

Yeah Bowman/Jackson have let more good talent go than aquire.
Hopefully someone on the staff (prays) stops another Magiapane or Skinner from happening..
Oilers needed something solid fro the PK.. it killed them last year.. Son of Dick can provide that.. I'd like Kapper back as well.. he was a gamer.. but he's probably looking to cash in..

For comparison Seatlle just signed McMann for 6 x 5.75M
McMann is 30 as well.. faster than Dickinson.. started scoring last couple years..
