Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno’s stories about how Foligno ended up with Dickinson’s old No. 17 — and how Dickinson switched to No. 16 — don’t exactly match up.

Dickinson’s version goes that he knew a call would come from the Blackhawks about switching after he saw Foligno signed, knowing No. 17 carries special meaning for Foligno as his father Mike’s old number. When the call came, Dickinson told Foligno he was happy to concede it. He then switched to No. 16, a number he previously wore with the Stars.
