Maybe Dillon for the Sharks?

So this doesn't get twisted in this friendly thread, I don't think anyone is saying that $3M for a deterrent
is good value and it's great the Flames have it for $5M+
There's not much else in the Reaves camp that can contribute these days, and we know that Reaves had multiple options when he signed for $2,775,000. Dillon seems like a fine example, but that's a stretch to compare to Lucic IMO. So round-about $3M is a rough 'as we chat' number if you like
I would have loved for the team to build team toughness rather than add a single deterrent - but here we are. One of the biggest elements to the Bruins & Blues toughness is that you see it all game with different combinations. They play hard, and one line with Lucic/Reaves isn't going to win that battle for you. If Calgary could have gotten Wilson for Neal, I'd be upset.
