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

[Levie]

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

Edit: and the 3rd is conditional?

Dillon is also better than demelo. By a lot.

WOW!! SELLERS MARKET CONFIRMED!!

Seems to be pretty average price for a depth defensemen with physical play.

 

[ScottyK]

Vatanen is gonna get a haul ( I still think we re-sign him before 3pm monday )

 

[one2gamble]

Washington got a solid deal here, dilly is a warrior and pretty solid all around.

 

[Esq]

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

You just paid a 2nd for Scandella. It's a sellers market.

 

[GRob83]

Not sure I understand trading for a left shot defenseman when 2nd pair right side defender is the biggest need.

I was expecting Scandella to go for a 2nd. I was surprised he was moved for a 4th earlier. This is normal at every trade deadline.

How good do you think Dillon is?
I really like the guy, but this price is pretty much expected.

Not at all. It's clearly pretty much exactly what we've been asking for.

We coulda got this deal at anytime for Dillon. Prices are high right now and I dont think Doug took advantage

What more could we have asked for? It's a 2nd and a 3rd. A 3rd is about the going price for any prospect a team would be willing to move. It's exactly what a majority of Sharks fans have been wanting all along.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Given this return, is it fair to say Stecher would fetch a 3rd?

That looks right.

I'd compare Stetcher to DeMelo.

 

[Alwalys]

Solid pickup for the caps. Glad if dilly had to go it was to a great team.

 

[domiwroze]

Dillon 50% = 2nd + 3rd 2021 cond.
Scandella 50% = 2nd + 4th 2021 cond.

looool. Only difference between the 2 is that Scandella is bad.

I agree but maybe it was a favor to dilly to not string him along.

Washington always scooping in out of nowhere and pulling off these trades lol

nice haul for SJ though

Caps swoop out of nowhere only because their front office doesn't leak and dealing with them requires no leaking on the other end.

Not sure I understand trading for a left shot defenseman when 2nd pair right side defender is the biggest need.

1. Best defenseman they could get. Orlov can play the right.
2. Kempny lately has been at least as big a problem as Jensen.

2 options. Dillon and Carlson together and they play the top defense assignments or Dillon and Orlov on the right take the top defense assignments

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

I was hoping for 2 2nds or possibly even a late first since he’s one of the better D men rentals this year, but this seems about right for both sides.

physical d man who can skate pretty well, doesn’t usually make many mistakes, will drop the gloves, can handle the puck without his stick exploding, but don’t expect him to wow you at all offensively.

Nobody was giving you a 1st for 3 months of Dillon lmao

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Solid pick up by Caps. That team just got better.

 

[Gurglesons]

Dillon - Gudas is going to be annoying in the playoffs.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Conditional 3rd? so cost of Dillon could be same as Scandella. lol
