Confirmed with Link: Brenden Dillon for 2 seconds

[KingBogo]

Third pairing will be Stanley-Beaulieu and we all know it.

How do we all know it? You aren't even trying to contribute to the discussion.

 

[Rheged]

Good player, signed to a reasonable deal through the contention window, nice complement to a guy like Pionk.

2 2nds is a hefty price but I'm pretty happy here I think.

 

[JetsCameHome]

Damn, that’s not very much time to have him under contract. Hope they didn’t give up too much.

3 years isn't much time?

 

[Mooche]

Well, the LD position in the organization just got even more interesting.

Pretty solid value. He is going to bring an element this team has been missing for quite some time. I'm cool with it.

 

[Hunter368]

This a great add for the Jets, big step up with Dillon.

Makes we wonder if Heinola might be pushed to played RHD. Also makes me wonder if this trades means Chevy is doubtful he can land a top 4 RHD.

Dillion Pionk
Josh Heinola
Stanley DeMelo

Or

Dillon Pionk
Josh DeMelo
Stanley Heinola

That’s a very solid D core top to bottom despite no true #1D. I would love that lineup.

 

[KingBogo]

3 years isn't much time?

3 years is just about perfect time wise considering the contract timeline of Scheifele, Wheeler and Helly.

I think they will still look to add another defensemen, both pionk and jomo needed partners. just not going to be a expensive one, maybe another in the demelo/dillon range

 

[WolfHouse]

Whatever.

I'm cheering for Heinola as our 6th D... but like every year for forever, we will debate our pairings all offseason and then Maurice will stay with the safe shot-blocking vet choice such as Beaulieu or Stuart or Pardy etc...

 

[bustamente]

Do they try to re sign Poolman as the 7th PB D, or keep Boo Boo in that role

Dillon is clearly Pionk partner in top 4. Josh maybe gets DeMelo or Heinola I’m guessing

 

[gojetsgo]

Dillon is clearly Pionk partner in top 4.

yes....

 

[Hunter368]

yes....

See my edit you were too fast haha

 

[Guardian17]

 

[Hunter368]

Dillon has been one of my fav D man on another team for a few years, I wanted to sign him when he signed with the Caps.

Yes I liked him with the Sharks and wanted him here. He is a real throw back style D man and I think he plays well in the modern game

 

[KingBogo]

Except the evidence doesn't support this. We kept DeMelo and added Dillion that is huge. Crap talk about the AHL defenseman we were forced to play the last couple seasons is quickly fading away so why get hung up on it?

chevy having a great week

Trade leaves the Jets with 12 million in space with Pionk (RD2), Copp (LW3), Stanley (LD3/LD4) to sign & still in need of RD3, RW4, G2.

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Stasnty-Dubois-Ehlers
LW3-Lowry-Vesalainen
Harkins-Gustaffson-RW4

Morrissey-Demelo
Dillon-RD2
Heinola-RD3

Hellebuyck
G2

Scratches: Niku, Beaulieu
IR Little

Cap Hit: $69,546,312
Cap Space: $11,953,688

Clearly the Jets plan to spend to the cap & use LTIR.

My question now becomes if its better to use the LTIR to sign one of Copp/Pionk after training camp so that a premium UFA RHD can be acquired, or sign all our RFA & trade for that RHD with a team pressed hard to the cap after camp.

 

[Mathil8]

Haha, Washington must not know that our 2nd rounders are cursed!

In all seriousness, two 2nds is a bit pricey, but hard to complain compared to some of the other deals we've seen for D men this offseason. Dillon is just the player to play with Pionk and on our PK, 3 years left at 3.9aav to take him to 33yo. Plus him and DeMelo are apparently best buds, should be an easy absorption into our reportedly solid room.

Some other things to take into consideration after this trade:
-Our left side is now set for the next 3 years: Morrissey, Dillon, Stanley. Does this signal a trade of Heinola/Samberg (or will our coach finally cave and accept to playing Heinola on his off side... which he's played for a large part of his career?). I swear to god, if our third pairing ends up Stanley Beaulieu...
-Assuming 6.0m deal for Pionk, 1.25m for Stanley, and 1.5m for "Backup Goalie", that leaves us with ~5.9m left to improve our forwards and/or RD. Technically we could still fit in Pulock's cap hit and use Stastny's cap for an extension the following year Or we could re-sign Copp and call the offseason complete.

 

[MardyBum]

A big physical dman that can also actually defend, the perfect harmony to all of our complaining lol.

Not sure where he fits in right away with either DeMelo or Pionk, but it should be a good fit either way. The window is now. 2 seconds for 3 years of a top 4 dman is fine especially considering the FA overpay we'd need.

 

[TheGovernment]

Maybe Dillon and DeMelo pair up again! Pionk plays with Jomo. Have a 2a - 2B setup…. I dunno, they are familiar with each other.

 

[Jetsfan79]

3 years isn't much time?

That's plenty. By then one of Samberg or Heinola will hopefully be ready for a top 4 role moving forward

 

[Finnflash]

Great pick up.

2 seconds. Who cares some great prospect will fall to the third for us to grab

I imagine it would be easier to handshake deal with one of your RFAs than to mess around with another teams' cap situation.
