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

Could have worked by just letting Stan walk and trading Iafallo with maybe 1-2m retained if necessary...

Next year would have been okay with Wheeler coming off the books but again there are a lot of guys ready for raises - like I hope we don't bridge Samberg.

Sammy was bridged already.

I think the team defence style made Diluon replaceable. Great team defence really makes every player better.

Sammy was bridged already.

I mean for the two more years before UFA...

And the big log’s name is Logan Stanley.

What's that about Stanley's big log?

Do you really want to move Heinola to the right? Because that would have had to happen if we re-signed Dillon. Couldn’t let Stanley walk as he is under contract this year. We are conservative enough as an organization as it is but if we don’t even give opportunities to first round picks coming off their ELCs it will be near impossible for any prospects to break into the lineup.

Im just talking about what I would have done... I know TNSE is super conservative.

Stanley was not under contract while signing Dillon was still an option.

That being said, we seem fine playing Salomondsson on his off-side now so what's the big deal.

Im on Heinola's side but Dillon is still the better option if we are keeping the window open. Moot point now anyway.

Pionk needed that steady partner in Dillon to counter the chaos. I don't know if Samberg's got the right stuff...

Oh Samberg has got the right stuff. Last night he looked like our second best D on our team.

Great value for what we paid - we got a lot of service out of him and he filled a gap that we had with our up and coming D.

In a perfect world we'd have had him for one more year, but I don't know that paying him 16MM and keeping him for 3 years beyond last season is better than losing him.

Overally I'd tell Chevy to pull the trigger if I could go back in time. Now, Nate Schmidt on the other hand.

Babysitting Pionk can be a handful. We'll see how he manages over the course of the season.
