Confirmed with Link: Sharks close to re-signing Dillon -- UPD signs 5 year extension AAV $3.27m

[Coily]

DW can learn! Now he'll sign Franson and pull a top 10 goalie outta thin air and we'll all love him again!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think Dillon will be worth his deal. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Really good deal for Dillon. Our top-4 is locked up so cheap and it's a pretty solid top-4.

 

[Painful Quandary]

Really liking this contract. This is good news.

Agree. Glad the deal was finally done. Now, if we can sign a solid UFA and work Mueller into regular playtime, with Tennyson as the regular number 7 and injury fill in, we can be looking at a pretty solid D core. Franson would be a nice pick up/addition for sure.

In all seriousness I think this will be a much different ufa day than usual for us and I believe DW will trade for a good goalie.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Great deal, good job DW & Dillon agreeing on a deal fair for the team and player, and thank god for not including a NTC/NMC. So Burns, Vlasic, Braun and Dillon are paid a combined 19M? That's amazing for a teams top 4 D-Men. Still would like to bring in a top pairing DMan and this contract allows us to still take on a decent salary. What were the team numbers? We had 18M and Dillon + Melkman signed for 4.5M? Decent amount of space to use still.

I'm hoping that with all the cap space the Sharks have that DW will be willing to pay market value for a legitimately good top 4 d-man but I'll still be surprised if he does.

He really, really dislikes playing in FA when it comes to the top players available.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

But thanks to Franson playing pretty poorly for Nashville, he may get him at a pretty fair price.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

The funny thing is, Dillon probably told his agent that he didn't want to get taken to the cleaners after that last contract, but it might have just happened again once we see what DeBoer does with him.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I think Dillon wanted a nice term and he got it.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Any chance we kick the tires on Sandis Ozolinsh?

Really good deal for Dillon. Our top-4 is locked up so cheap and it's a pretty solid top-4.

~$17 mil for the next two years. Vlasic and Burns probably gonna get fairly big extensions maybe $3m between the two of them. So probably $20m for the top 4 in 3 years.

That's pretty good.

sidenote: he's making less than Stuart does now

 

[Nolan11]

I'll guess 16.25M over 5 years, $3.25 M/avg (2.75, 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75)

Eh, I was close. Wonder why they did the extra 0.02 M/per? Probably just to mess with me.

I wouldn't count on that, he'll be highly sought after.

Very true.

Someone on twitter said that the Sharks were interested. Along with the Leafs, Pens and Flames (who seem to want every dman ever).

 

[OrrNumber4]

Nabby is the most recent 5 year contract I can remember. Everyone else usually maxes out at 3.

Nabby was a four-year-deal.

Longest I can remember was Michalek's 6-year-deal. Boyle was acquired with his 6-year-contract just kicking in.

 

[Hangemhigh]

Dillon being back is excellent news.
Excellent term and salary!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Any chance we kick the tires on Sandis Ozolinsh?

I think Jeff Norton is available.

 

[Nighthock]

A little shocked to see 5 years from DW, but the cap hit is nice.

 

[magic school bus]

Gotta lock up that 9 pts.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Gotta lock up that 9 pts.

I would say this is a stupid post but I've never seen you ever agree with Wilson on anything.

 

[CanadienShark]

Very pleased with this deal. I'd have gone as high as $4m with that term.

Pavelski? Couture?
