The Vancouver Canucks and recently acquired forward Jason Dickinson avoided an arbitration hearing by signing off on a three-year deal on Saturday.
The deal will pay Dickinson $2.65 million per season.
“Jason was an important addition for our forward group this summer and we’re pleased to have agreed to terms with him on a three-year deal,” said Canucks GM Jim Benning.
“He’s a versatile player that can play on both the wing and at center and is also a strong penalty killer.”
Dickinson was traded to the Canucks by the Dallas Stars in mid-July for a third-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
Dickinson, 26, became a restricted free agent on July 28.
