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

[10Ducky10]

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.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

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

 

[WolfHouse]

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?

 

[WolfHouse]

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.

 

[Jet]

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.

You dont think hes worth the same as iafallo?

 

[KingBogo]

Iafallo was the cap dump part of the PLD trade. No one including the Jets is paying him anywhere close to $4 M next season.

 

[Jet]

You dont think hes worth the same as iafallo?

I dont think iafallo is worth a much as iafallo

 

[Flair Hay]

You dont think hes worth the same as iafallo?

Fair point he is definitely more integral to the team. Especially in April.

I just found it interesting that both draft picks Washington got were then used in Vitek Vanacek trades, who was drafted with a Winnipeg Jets draft pick and also was traded for Kaapo Kahkonen.

July 2013 Jets trade a 2nd round pick in the 2014 draft (which ends up being pick #39) to Minnesota for Devin Setoguchi.
Minnesota then trades that pick at the 2014 trade deadline to Buffalo in the Matt Moulson deal.
Washington trades up sending Buffalo the 44th and 74th at the draft to select Vitek Vanacek at number 39.
Vanacek plays 37 regular season and 1 playoff game in Washington before being selected in the Seattle expansion draft.
Washington trades a 2023 2nd round pick to Seattle to get Vanacek back. This is two days after getting this 2nd round pick from Winnipeg for Brendan Dillon.
Vanacek plays 44 more games for Washington but the next offseason is traded to New Jersey, along with the other draft pick acquired from Winnipeg in the Brendan Dillon trade for two more draft picks (one used to select Ryan Chesley)
New Jersey trades Vanacek to San Jose for Kaapo Kahkonen and a future 7th round pick. At the end of the season Kahkonen signs with Winnipeg.

I almost want to keep going backwards as Setoguchi was selected by the Sharks after trading up with Atlanta.

Chevy tends to do a very job getting the best years out of a player.
