This is a bit of a raise for Dach, as he had an $825,000 AAV during his entry-level contract. Now, he will be making slightly over $1 million per season on his new deal with Edmonton.
Dach was traded by the Blackhawks with Jason Dickinson to the Oilers ahead of this year's deadline in exchange for Andrew Mangiapane and a 2027 conditional first-round pick. In eight regular-season games with the Oilers following the move, Dach posted two goals and four points. He also had an assist in five playoff games for Edmonton this spring.
Dach was selected by the Blackhawks with the 62nd overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. In 78 games over two seasons with Chicago from 2024-25 to 2025-26, the 6-foot-4 forward posted five goals, 11 assists, 16 points, and 275 hits.
Dach will now be looking to hit a new level with the Oilers after landing his new multi-year contract. It will be interesting to see how the former Blackhawks forward continues to develop from here.
