While content with the agreement, Dickinson admitted:
The contract extension gives stability to the 28-year-old forward, who was once thought of as a possible buyout candidate two summers ago.
Dickinson has comfortably settled into his role in Chicago and, if he keeps going at this rate, could hit 25 goals this season.
This extension follows the Blackhawks re-signing forward Nick Foligno to a two-year, $9 million contract, showing the team's dedication to keeping both players beyond this year's NHL trade deadline.
