1st reply.

Didnt know Jarret Bousquet is an agent. Knew him from my Cranbrook minor hockey days. He played with Scott Niedermeyer came to Kamloops with him.

Will be interesting to see the dollar figure here. Could be a good deal for San Jose.

Breakdown of Dillon’s salary: $1.9 in 2015-16; $2.75 in 2016-17; $3.4 in 2017-18; $3.9 in 2018-19 and 2019-20 #SJSharks

Kevin Kurz @KKurzCSN
First year of Dillon’s contract includes $500,000 signing bonus, so AAV is $3.27 million #SJSharks

That's a great deal for SJ

[Jiggy]

Nice deal for both parties. I thought the cap hit would be at least 4 million a year.

Dillon is a stud. Great deal for the Sharks.

[jemjey]

good value. I've liked Dillon in limited viewings.

[Cheerio]

Dillon gets the term and Sharks get the low cap hit, both parties are probably happy

[Hackey]

I think the term benefits the Sharks more than Dillon as long as he continues to improve. Could be a real steal in 2-3 years. Even if he's stagnant the deal is pretty reasonable.

YAY!! FINALLY Wilson does something really, really right!

Fair deal, I really wanted Dillon on the Flames until Dallas sent him to the Sharks. Really good young defenseman with size and smarts. I was expecting more offense from him though.
