Agreed. It's one step in a multi step process.

The rest of steps primarily involve changing the pond hockey system. . . But I doubt that’s gonna happen.
BTW, can you make it Saturday?

Now we have Dillon and Dillan on defense. :snicker:
Putting on my Johnny Carson turban here is my guess at how the new lines finally settle.
6-Kempny -- 74-Carlson
4-Dillon -- 3-Jensen
9-Orlov -- 33-Gudas
34-Siegenthaler Rotating in/out as backup
--- End quote ---
I can almost bet, sans other trades, it will start as, and continue for a while as
Kempny — “Jonny Norris”
Orlov — Jensen
Dillon — Gudas
Dillon is already our best all around D, but he fits Toddies sterotype “3rd pair D”. There should be ample concern that with out a move, Dillon is just gonna get the same minutes Gudas does, ie not enough)

Here’s Dillons scouting report🤘🤘🤘🤘😈
Has tremendous size (6-4, 225 pounds) for a National Hockey League defenseman. Is capable of playing a physical role in the NHL. Can produce offense at lower levels. Needs to become a more consistent defender and tighten up his game in order to make a bigger impact at the highest level. Won't put up big offensive numbers in the NHL.
Long Range Potential:Solid, physical defenseman.
I found this article on the same site. Highlights: Sharks are #1 in PK (did not know that), hes been paired with two real Norris caliber Dman: Burns and Karlsson, most of this year and last.

Oh and we also gained a littke enforcement., “As the video clearly shows”, he’s an upper tier middleweight like Hathaway:
This was a a HELLACIOUS old-school, real man scrap!!

Dillon being paired with Carlson makes the most sense, that way the Caps have an actual defenseman on the ice during that shift.
