Popular Post theo5789 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 If we add enough LD, then we wouldn't need RD. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Sure, just need to move Benn out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 lol I'm listening to this right now. Yeah, he wants to play here. Would be great, if he's willing to accept a hometown discount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNucks1 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 how much was he making, i'd be down if it aint a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Around $3.27? If he signs $3.5 x 3? Let Fanta and Stecher walk? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'm all for this. The Canucks could use a defenseman like Dillon. His size and physicality are evidently needed, but his underestimated ability to hold down a defensive pairing with a high end, offensive defenseman (Karlsson in SJ and Carlson in Washington) is also a huge plus. 1 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I honestly do not know what kind of player Dillon is but if he is any good then I guess so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why this seems to be a very common fan generated prerequisite for players when there might a rumor or report that a player would like to join a club perhaps ? Not a shot at you just something i've noticed quite commonly, like no if Brenden Dillon was interested in joining the Canucks and it was mutual they'd work out a contract. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 awesome that so many players appear to want to come here....now. (not necessarily talking about Dillon here, but where were they all when we really needed them?) anyhow - almost any other time, this would probably be relatively big news... but even if OEL didn't pan out... It remains that the team has Edler, Hughes, Juolevi (and hopefully Fantenburg returns to 'tandem' with him).... and with Benn still here, Dillon being a realistic signing would really require that also being resolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exactly the type of D we need in the 3rd pair. Big physical 18-20 minute defensive D. Pretty well established player. Willing to drop the gloves. If he comes at a discount it would be pretty worth it. Only downside then would be that is a LD. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this has me reconsidering OEL lol Maybe they should just re-sign Tanev and then Dillon? Those two would still be cheaper than OEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Oh man exciting times. Imagine going into next year with Dillon and OEL upgrading our d corps. Would be ideal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 shorter term sure... Dillon and DeMelo.Barrie as UFA signings might be better than going after OEL. Apparently OEL played the right side with Edler at the WC's so that would likely be the pairing then the Giraffe gets to play with QH, hopefully that leads the Sea taking the Giraffe next off season after a good season beside QH. Use the 6m from the Giraffe to hopefully go after a top RHD who might be a UFA available 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 Dillon would bring a much needed truculence to the D. They were missing this in the playoffs. 1 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Would be awesome! I know people keep hunting for a RD and say we don’t need anymore LD. What we also need just from watching us get hit all playoffs and nobody on our backend doing much back is a guy that can punish forwards physically! This is a big guy and he plays a nice physical game! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this has me reconsidering OEL lol Maybe they should just re-sign Tanev and then Dillon? Those two would still be cheaper than OEL. I think Dillon has a few options. I remember watching a video with guy in San Jose, either shortly before or shortly after the trade to Washington was announced. He was barely able to hold back the tears. He might be eyeing a return to SJ, although if he wants to compete for a Cup, he'd probably have a greater chance here. He might be hoping that Washington is interested in re-signing him, which I heard was their intention. And he might want to be a Canuck seeing how well the team played in the playoffs, and how mightily they struggled with a big, physical team like Vegas. I hope he's not just blowing smoke and is legitimately interested, as I feel he'd be a great addition to the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VancouverHabitant Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hate to piss on the parade but he’s not a crazy big upgrade on Fanta. Am I the only one that really liked Fanta’s game for 80% of this season and the playoffs? Fanta’s a year younger and cheaper. 1 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
