Confirmed with Link: Dillon to Jets for 2 second round picks

[IafrateOvie34]

Farewell Dillon. Unlike many here, I appreciated your time with the Caps. Fetching us two 2nds is just even better. Good luck with the Jets.

 

[Carlzner]

Pretty ironic how good that Dillon-Schultz pairing was for like the first 2 weeks of the season.

Although I think it was a lot of Buffalo games IIRC

 

[Nice]

I ain't mad at ya GMBM. Now pay Ovi

 

[EroCaps]

Good enough return.

Trade Kuzy.

This. Move Kuzy por favore.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

God, imagine thinking you might be going to Seattle and then ending up in Winnipeg

 

[Random schmoe]

Really liked Dillon, even if I thought he was about a million and a half overpaid. But this was a hell of a deal by GMBM.

Hi guys, just looking for some feedback.

Just curious has Dillon ever played RHD at even strength and if yes was he decent at it?

thx

No

Hi Caps' fans, did he play any PK?

 

[Kalopsia]

Hi Caps' fans, did he play any PK?

He got 1:47 a night on the PK this year and had 2:40 a night the year before (Chara supplanted him as the top LD on the PK). Probably would've been higher if he weren't committing so many of those penalties himself...

Not during his time in Washington, which was rather limited. Better question for Sharks fans.

Well done GMBM
clearing some well needed Cap space and a good return
will miss the toughness, won't miss the PIMs

Thing I liked about Dilly Dilly, he dropped the gloves in like his 3rd shift in DC last year, and was always good to stick up for his mates and get his hands dirty. He was well liked in the locker room, by all accounts. He had a real rough stretch last year when Shultz was dragging him down, but when paired with TVR he almost immediately stepped back up into form.

Hope he does well in Peg... gonna miss his grit, not much in the pipeline to replace that, so Tommy "The Problem" Wilson will have to carry a bigger load there.

Good deal for both sides.

Time to give our youngsters the shot they have deserved.

 

[WanderingCapsFan]

Seemed like a good guy. Necessary cap dump. Next.

 

[artilector]

Nice deal.

Not gonna happen, but at this point might as well commit to the Ovi/Backstrom retirement/babysitting tour, gradually dump all the other vets, and focus on the next generation.

This.

Atleast stop wasting all the assets by throwing the picks away.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

I liked Dillon. Best wishes in Winterpeg.

Very good return for him, though. 2 second round picks is great.

 

[usiel]

Some D salary had to be moved for AOs contract. Nice return my gut there was decent bidding for his service to get the two 2nds, shrug. Got to run some younger D on the bottom pairing to start can always pick up veteran help later on.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Its about the same if not more the return we traded for him in the 1st place so you cant be mad

 

[HecticGlow]

I don’t think Dillon was as good a fit on-ice as he was on-paper - he just didn’t mesh with either of our top-4 RD, took too many penalties, and could look as lost as Schultz in his own zone at times. I suspect he’ll look a lot better in Winnipeg, though, and he’s undoubtedly a great guy off the ice/in the room.

And we made a profit, somehow - spent a second and a third to acquire him, then traded him for two seconds.

 

[Lobodomy]

Bye bye Dildo.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Dillon struggled more than I expected and while he wasn’t horrible he didn’t live up to his contract. The return is much better than I expected. I wonder if GMBM flips those second round picks as part of a Kuzy trade.

 

[g00n]

Impossible. I was assured we are in INESCAPABLE CAP HELL and GMBM is totally incompetent.
