Confirmed Trade: [WSH/SJS] Brenden Dillon (50% retained) for 2020 2nd round pick, cond. 2021 3rd round pick

[bleedblue1223]

Confirmed sellers market. Bowman, where are you??

Sellers market? This was a pretty fair deal, exactly what we should have expected. A 2nd with an additional conditional pick.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Thats all we could get...

Not sure why you would've expected more.

 

[ottomaddox]

Toronto was supposed to be here...

 

[Addison Rae]

Great deal for both sides. Dillon has really good underlying numbers.

 

[themelkman]

Not sure why you would've expected more.

With so many teams in, I was hoping for a prospect instead of a somewhat worthless 2021 conditional that will never get met

 

[JohnCarlsaurus]

Good deal for both teams. Dillon is an under valued heart-and-soul player with some of the league’s best defensive metrics over the past two seasons.

Agreed. I watch the Sharks a lot and I'm pretty happy with this trade

 

[SI90]

Good move for the caps. Sucks as an islanders fan.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Toronto was supposed to be here...

Was stated several times Leafs don't want a rental they need term and on top of that he is another LD

Plenty of available options though, and teams aren't will to overpay in most cases.

I agree with this. I was thinking a late first + add from San Jose. But this is pretty much even.

Yeah I think it’s fair for both us and Washington.

 

[Mpasta]

Called it, i knew Dillon would get traded

Everybody knew he would get traded.

 

[jetsforever]

Trying to think if I'd prefer DeMelo for a third or Dillon for a 2nd and 3rd

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Tampa, now Washington. Both just got so much tougher to play against. Not going to be fun playing them.

Takes 1 team to move, Pens got Zuzker last week and now it seems like teams are starting to answer
In the past few years, trade deadline day is pretty boring, not many big trades happen

 

[ovikovy817]

Defensive D?
LD?
Can he play on the right side?
Good PKer?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Thats all we could get...

Personally, I think it's pretty good value to be honest.

 

[Taluss]

Sad to see him leave SJ, looked devastated about the thought of leaving yesterday. Best of luck to him

 

[Cogburn]

Huh, exactly what HF Sharks fans said they wanted. Excellent call, San Jose hockey fans!

Good value, should be a good fit in Washington, but not what I'd think of as the final piece.

 

[Blackjack]

It's "Brenden", no?

 

[Gecklund]

With so many teams in, I was hoping for a prospect instead of a somewhat worthless 2021 conditional that will never get met

We get the third no matter what.

 

[themelkman]

Defensive D?
LD?

Good PKer?

Yes
Yes
No
Yes

 

[lakai17]

Solid move by the caps

 

[CupInSIX]

Not a great return for 50% retention with all the teams in the mix. Better than what Demelo got though.

 

[themelkman]

Personally, I think it's pretty good value to be honest.

Its good, but I was hoping for a bit better

 

[uncleben]

What an odd condition.

It's very not likely , but it can open SJS up to the possibility of Washington winning the Cup in a universe where Arizona wins the President's Trophy this year, and SJS takes the last pick in the 3rd round this year, even if Washington's wheels fall of next year and they finish in dead last, and have the first pick in the third round next year.

Just sort of weird to give Arizona's 3rd if Washington wins the Cup. They seem unrelated.
