Good time to be a compotent veteran in Chicago!

[Odjickwillkillyou]

Somewhere Loui is seeing this and getting started on his comeback 

[Jess]

He's been insane in Chicago, so it's arguable that he's earned it. On pace for 27 goals this year and about 40 points, though my guess is that it's career year on at least the goal front. Chicago also obviously wants to hit the cap floor, so they can spend a bit more on veterans like him (assuming he qualifies for that status now).

[MeanSeanBean]

Gotta hit that floor somehow. Good for him.

[NewbieCanuckFan]

Its a fact (ok, it's my opinion ) that on crappy teams (which the Black Hawks are), *somebody* will get *some* points.  On the Black Hawks, Dickon is such the player.  

 

In my opinion.

[Hammertime]

too bad it didn't work out here for him. He's been great for the hawks. He seems like a great guy in the room too.

[DrJockitch]

Wow, 4+M for HIM!?

I know he has been better for them but come on.

Suddenly Dakota Joshua is a $7M player based on this.

No FOMO from me here... He's a poor man's Pearson... And Pearson was over paid  at 3.5 a touche

Pearson was not overpaid at all. He provided RELIABLE points for his pay. People were just expecting him to be a 40 or 50 goal scorer, which is unrealistic.

 

Something to note about the Benning regime: Pearson and Dickinson are both doing well AWAY from the team. There was just something about how Benning assembled his team that didn't flow. Yes, keeping Green was a BIG mistake.

[Coconuts]

He's having what'll probably be a career year and they've got to pay someone, good for him.

Well I dare to be wrong.... Rather a 5 million forward than a 3.5 million one ..  alot of Pearson's strengths were filled in by PDG at 2.7 million cheaper...

To be honest, PDG was a good fill-in but didn't statistically bring back the same value. I like PDG. He's not a Pearson at all.

 

 

Here's Pearson

 

 

So yeah... I think you need to re-amend your original point.

Pearson has 8 points in 27 games and is currently injured. Not sure that classifies as doing well. 

[kettlevalley]

I dont get it.  We cap dump Dickinson at 2.65 and they sign him to 4.25 one year later?  Shaking head all day.

I'm not impressed with putting up points on a horrible team.  Keith Freaking Ballard put up over 30 points twice on horrible teams often playing top 4 minutes.  He so good AV put Baumgartner ahead of him in the depth chart at one point in the post season. 

[Miss Korea]

Uh-oh.  We're going to lose Joshua to free agency, aren't we?

That’s too bad because he definitely started off well with Monahan and Gally

Joshua and Blueger as well.  Both will be wanting new contracts similar to this one...

 We definitely don't have the money for it, but some other team does.  That's what scares me.

Benning was so bad at organizing a team. Both players were redundant poor decisions. Could have gotten a second for Pearson at the TDL instead signs him for 3 years blocking our own ability to sign a top 6 player for Bo's wing. Good player, reasonable contract, horrible signing by Benning once again.

Yes, which is why we need to kinda go for it this year.  With 10 pending UFA's and RFA's I don't think we will have the same team next season...

Well… he was rebuilding, so its gunna have its headaches. Relating the struggles of a team rebuilding on guys like Pearson and Dickinson who werent given the same kind of opportunities like Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat and Miller isnt a fair way to gauge things.

Im not shocked one bit hes scoring.

Dickinson was tied for 1st with 7 rush attempts when he played in Van with 400 less minutes than the guys above him at 5v5.

in all situations he had 8 rush attempts which was 3 behind Miller who was first on the team.

I got chirped for pointing out Dickinson is getting/finding open areas and getting chances hes just snake bitten and thats with 60% dzone starts. 
also defensively he was one of our best forwards.
