@Canucks de Vancouver

On dirait que Brendan Dillon pourrait être intéressé à signer avec VAN le 1er juillet. Grand corps, fort avec la rondelle et un garçon local en plus. Il lui faudrait cependant subir un plafond inférieur à celui de WPG pour avoir un sens pour VAN.


Ce serait une excellente option pour le top 4. Il y avait des rumeurs autour de la date limite selon lesquelles les Canucks s’intéresseraient à Dillon. Il a beaucoup joué avec Morrissey. Cela pourrait également nous permettre d’échanger Hronek contre un ailier du top 6.

Pensées?

    Come on home….this should have happened years ago!!!

  2. Alextryingforgrate

    Local boy usually means they would take less to play at home.

  3. AutomaticConstant695

    Not being a naysayer, serious question: is he still a top 4 guy? I lost track of his career for the last half a decade.

  4. Makes sense for sure. A big part of the success of this Rutherford regime is finding cost controlled players that are gonna provide plus value for their cap hit. Look at Dak and Zaddy as prime examples of that.

    I think this and Heinen would be the reasonable expectations not even because of the hometown discount factor but because they’ll be cost controlled which we’ll need after this upcoming season when the cost of the OEL buyout goes up

    Yes Im sure this random dude on twitter who draws comics is a reliable insider lol

    Dillon makes a ton of sense as a Zadorov replacement (assuming you can’t come to an agreement w/ Zaddy).

    $7 million over 2 years is probably the upper limit of what I would do. Dillon/Myers would be a totally fine bottom-4 pairing.

    The player they should really be after though is Dylan DeMelo.

    FWIW, jets fans are split on wanting to re-sign Dillon. He would make an ok depth dman signing at the right price. He’s also older than I thought at 33. But expecting him to take less $ than he made in WPG is asinine with the cap increasing.

    Add – he would play behind Hughes and soucy on the left side. It doesn’t make sense to sign him lol.

  8. samuelmeirels

    DeMelo and Dillon 👌🏻

    For Zadorov and Myers (assuming we are unable to resign Zady to a reasonable cap hit)

    Who says no?

  9. AllthingskinkCA

    I remember when they announced over the p.a when he was drafted

  10. Holyshitmuffin

    Zadorov dillion myers soucy bottom 4 is nasty

  11. EastVan1k

    FYI: He’s 33 yrs old, LD out of New West. 6′ 4″. 225 lbs. His salary was $3.9m each of the last 4 years.

    Averaged about 21 pts and 70ish pims the last 3 years.

    Durable: missed only 8 games last 3 years.

    AFPAnalytics has him projected at 2 years and $2.86m per year.

    Imagine bringing trading Hronek and bringing Tanev, DeMelo and Dillon.

    Hughes – DeMelo

    Dillon – Tanev

    Soucy – Juulsen

  13. Lanky-Performer-4557

    Imagine this though…

    QH – Tanev
    Dillion – zadorov
    Myers – soucy

    That’s a big ass D. Trade hronek for necas or top 6 winger

  14. TheFrozenCanadianGuy

    Who was that big guy on Edmonton? Who put two arms around two Canucks?
    Started with a D.
    We should get him and send over Cole

  15. Ruilin96

    I see him as an upgrade replacement for Ian Cole. He would be a downgrade replacement for Zadorov.

  16. Spookedchicken

    Dillon is essentially a slightly smaller but 5 years older Zadorov so likely would be a cheaper and shorter term option. That would round out our left side decently: Hughes – Dillon – Soucy.

    Personally I’d like more consistent upside from our back end though so it doesn’t all fall on Hughes. If there is any interest from Skjei to come to Van I’d hope the Canucks are in on that bidding. Having a left side of Hughes – Skjei – Soucy would be awesome.

  17. He says this every time he is a UFA. He will go to the team that offers him the most money, and that will not be Vancouver.

  18. Knight_On_Fire

    I would almost never trade a top pairing RHD for a winger just based on principle, let alone a top 6 winger. Woof. That would be a downgrade. That winger better be pretty frackin good.

  19. MasterChrom

    I’ve seen him play and no thanks. He’s basically a more experienced and expensive Juulsen. You guys hate it when Juulsen makes a bad read and goes in for a hit, only to get caught and the other team gets an odd man rush opportunity? Dillon does the same shit.
