A "look back" at a trade "Brendan Dillon" for 2 x 2nd rounders

[Jetsetter]

The Washington Capitals used the two second-round draft picks they acquired from the Winnipeg Jets in the Brendan Dillon trade in the following ways:

1. 2022 Second-Round Pick (46st Overall): The Capitals traded this pick to the New Jersey Devils in a draft-day deal. In return, they acquired two third-round picks (No. 70 and No. 85 overall) in the 2022 NHL Draft. They then used those picks to select:
   • Alexander Suzdalev (No. 70 overall), a left-winger from Sweden.
   • Ryan Hofer (No. 181 overall, as the Capitals traded down with the New York Rangers after moving the No. 85 pick), a center from the WHL.
2. 2023 Second-Round Pick (No. 49 Overall): The Capitals kept and used this pick in the 2023 NHL Draft to select Andrew Cristall, a highly regarded left-winger from the WHL.

These moves show that the Capitals used the assets from the Dillon trade to acquire and develop young talent for their prospect pool.

With the 46th pick in 2022 the NJD's picked Seamus Casey.

Typically in the 2rd round, yes.

I can’t believe we let Dilly walk to UFA without even talking contract, he’s the guy you want in the playoffs.

But we got two tweeners in Fleury and Coghlan and close to tweener Miller, Chevy is a genius!
