Brenden Dillion appreciation thread

[LadyStanley]

Thank you, Brendon, for your hard work, and good lockerroom "glue".

From the Sunday video, we can understand what it means to leave the organization and wish you nothing but the best going forward.

At least he will be playing in the postseason.

I wish I had never seen that Dillon interview, because I am f***ing sad as shit.

Real solid player, great dude, phenomenal flow.

 

[fasterthanlight]

Dillon is amazing. Great player, great speed, great size, reliable, always stuck up for team-mates. Probably one of the nicest guys, too.

 

[The Great John Scott]

Dillon came in and filled the physical void left by Clowe and Murray. One of the few players over the last few years that seemed to play with consistent grit and heart. I truly wish he weren’t the one going, because God knows this team isn’t going to find anyone internally to replace someone of his ilk. Thanks for everything, Dillon. I hope you win a cup and get a nice fat raise on your next contract.

[Internazionale]

I hope he kicks butt in DC. Go get that cup Brendon!

 

[Pavelski2112]

His first game as a Shark was probably the drunkest I've ever gotten. Gonna miss that guy. All heart, but could actually play hockey too.

 

[Negatively Positive]

The locker room loses another glue guy and one of the only physical players on the team. If the rumors about the locker room issues are true this is not gonna help. He seems like a good dude who can be a good influence on the young players. He'll be missed.

Dilly has been a great example of the maxim that the toughest guys on the ice are the nicest people off it. He's been great in the community, always stood up for his teammates, and always had time for the fans. After a tough loss vs. Colorado last playoffs, he stuck around signing autographs for the line of folks outside the Tank and took the time to genuinely interact with everyone rather than sticking a marker out the window and putting it in neutral. Great guy, and if we had to lose him, I'm glad it's a year where we're not in the playoffs so I can root for him to succeed without reservation. Thanks for everything, Dilly!

[Painful Quandary]

Dillon is a warrior. The team is definitely going to miss him.

 

[DG93]

Unless Jumbo gets traded somewhere else, go Caps!! Thanks Dilly

 

[hohosaregood]

I hope he settles down here once his playing days are over.

 

[themelkman]

I was mad when we moved Demers for him, but I think we all really grew to like him and he gave it all for us every year. Thanks Brenden

 

[Kegsey]

This one hurts. Good luck, Dilly.

What rumours?

 

[weastern bias]

I always liked Brenden Dillon

I liked the trade to acquire Dillon

I liked the contract he signed here

I like the trade to let him go

I liked him as a player

I like that he seems like a genuinely good guy

Thanks for your years Brenden, I enjoyed them

 

[Anomie2029]

I loved Dillon. He improved pretty much every season and I loved watching the Karlsson-Dillon pairing when we had it.
I remember there were concerns about how much his contract was, but after his second season I think most saw that he was a player worth more than his contract.

Hope he gets a cup at the Caps.

 

[CJL182]

Dilly settled well into his role here and is a great guy by all accounts. It was tough seeing that post game interview yesterday, but I'm glad we got a happier interview today. Hope he does well with Washington the rest of the year. Would love to have him back at a certain price point, but he'll probably land elsewhere.

 

[LeftHeartInSF]

Good Shark. Will miss. His skill set doesn't come around often enough.

[LA Shark]

Here's to hoping we trade Vlasic this summer and bring Dillon back after he gets a ring!

 

[PackShark]

Best of luck Dilly. Really improved his game over the years and became a solid dman. Also, thanks for taking a selfie with my drunk ass when I ran into you at the Britt after a game earlier this year.

 

[Anomie2029]

Was clearly VERY popular in the Sharks family:
