Master Mind Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Both Demers and Dillon weren't do as well as expected this year. This trade could help both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 @reporterchris Told the #SJSharks retained 35% of Demers's salary in that Dillon trade with #stars. Well that seems unnecessary. So then it's: To Dallas: Demers @ 2.21 million for next two seasons 3rd round pick 2016 To Sharks: Dillon Seems a little less even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pretty obvious that Dallas wanted more mobility and offence from their backend, and they didn't think Gonchar was the solution. Demers should help their transition game and give them some more speed. And John Klingberg looks really good so far too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Bang Boogie Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Damn, I would've loved to bring Dillon back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE14 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pretty good trade for both teams. Dallas needed a RHD and Dillon-Burns would make a great pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin-B Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wow, a bit surprised. Didn't he just get a new contract from Dallas? He's another down to Earth kid. Another favorite of ours from the Seattle Thunderbirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What are you guys talking about bottom pairing dman, this guy isn't Sbisa. Dhillons #'s are pretty much Chris Tanevs #'s. (I.e. Kids a top pairing dman. def a top 4 dman). SJS just robbed Dallas. Canucks should have done whatever they had to get him, they are in desperate need of a dman. A top pairing D-man...with 1 point in 20 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have to agree with the others. Seems like a good hockey trade for both teams. I am a little curious as to who is handling the Sharks transition now. They lost Boyle and now trade away another puck moving D for a stay at home? They must be really high on Dillon.

BeefcakeBo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Seems odd given the Sharks didn't re sign Boyle. The back end there has to be kinda lacking a power play defenceman now doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wow, this trade looks pretty decent for both sides. San Jose's top four is probably Vlasic - Braun, Dillon - Burns which is pretty solid. Each pair has one defensive guy and one puck-mover. Stars also get a right D-man that they could use, as mentioned, along with that 3rd. Two struggling teams making a trade that helps both of them. IMO, a very good hockey trade. With Hammer going down with a lower body injury last night, we are definitely in need of a veteran d-man. I'm thinking Montreal would be a good trade partner, especially just having added Gonchar and Allen. Given our needs right now, if I were JB, I would call Bergevin and offer up Burrows for Tom Gilbert. I would offer to retain $1.0M of Burrows' contract. This would allow Burrows to be a cap hit of $3.5M on Habs' books (Gilbert is at $2.8M), so net is another $700K to Habs cap hit, which keeps them cap compliant. Between Gilbert's $2.8M and $1.0M, we carry $3.8M on our books, shedding $700K off the bottom line. Gilbert's contract expires in 2 years and Burrows' three, so this can be carried without too much hardship (plus, we should have bunch of ELC's on the roster, giving us flexibility in the final year of Burrows' contract). This works from a cap perspective and fills a need we have. We have Linden Vey who has played well with Bonino and Higgins to step in. Horvat stays. Nice idea, but I'd rather keep Burr and try for Hansen + 2nd. Really don't want to disrupt that 2nd line as it's been doing well. What's more, Tom's playing on the 3rd pairing and may get edged out by Bryan Allen/ Beaulieu/ Weaver on the bottom pairing anyways, so by dealing Hansen it would be spare for spare. With Hammer back we could do: Danny - Hank - Radim Higgins - Bones - Burr Vey - Horvat - Kassian Matthias - Richie - Dorsett Edler - Tanev Hammer - Juice Sbisa - Gilbert Stanton - Weber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Seems odd given the Sharks didn't re sign Boyle. The back end there has to be kinda lacking a power play defenceman now doesn't it? Maybe they will call up Tennyson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good trade for SJ, they got the solid DFD who skates well, reminds me of Stanton but is alot smarter with the puck, can be alot more mean and a better offensive game. Vlasic-Burns Dillon-Braun They got 3 solid shutdown defencemen and Burns a physical OFD who is 2nd in scoring for defencemen. SJ isn't playing well, losing to CBJ, BUF, FLA in the last few games.

BeefcakeBo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Maybe they will call up Tennyson?I guess Burns is playing D again, but I think they usually play him up in front of the net on the powerplay? I can see them calling anyone up since I would assume Dillon will be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
