The Chicago Blackhawks are likely to be sellers as the 2026 NHL trade deadline approaches, with forward Jason Dickinson emerging as a notable trade candidate due to his pending unrestricted free agent status. Three potential teams interested in Dickinson include the Edmonton Oilers, who seek a center for their bottom six and penalty kill; the Tampa Bay Lightning, who aim to enhance their roster; and the Philadelphia Flyers, looking to replace injured center Rodrigo Abols with a veteran forward.
