that's a player that could have gotten 3.5m with a 10 team M-NTC. I'd have prefered this option if I were the caps
How is 3.9 on a 2nd pair defense man an over payment?
The going rate there is roughly 4-4.5
If anything he took a slight discount because well, flat cap etc... bs.
It's a fair deal, good deal for WSH.
They may have bought 1 year too much, but it only runs till 34. Dillons got size so he will probably be decent until he's 34.

i agree, i had him at 4.45x4. this looks pretty solid.
Maybe with all those defenseman signings the average CapFriendly Joe will understand that the market for them is on the rise and that's why we're seeing these numbers.
All these people saying this is an overpayment are absolutely clueless. Dillon is a top 4 guy. If someone goes down injured he can step up and play top minutes against teams best players. He’s a shut down D man. He could’ve easily gotten 4.5-5 in the open market on a crap rebuilder team. I keep coming across idiots that still think the year is 2010 and the cap is back at 60M. Get with the times.. do some research before you comment idiotic crap.
Too much money for a 3rd pairing defenceman; even if he's a very good one.
This sums up how clueless people are here. Look at his stats, the advanced ones. He's extremely reliable on own end and very much durable second pairing d-man. Given the fact that Jensen and Kempny are locked in extremely cheaö contracts giving Dillon 3.9M is far from a bad signing.
