Coming home to Vancouver has its appeal for veteran defenceman chasing his first cup
Coming off is 12th season in the NHL, the veteran defenceman will become an unrestricted free agent for the first time on July 1.
Dillon has had an outstanding career for someone who wasn’t chosen in the WHL Bantam Draft or the NHL Entry Draft. “I haven’t won yet. I’ve gotten close. I’ve been fortunate to be part of some incredible teams with San Jose. It was just the expectation that we had from training camp on - it was Cup or bust. I was fortunate to go to the finals and to go to the conference finals and to play some meaningful hockey. When you’re playing, it truly is the best time of year.
During his time with the Sharks, Dillon got a taste of hockey in Vancouver two to three times a year for six seasons. As far as the Canucks organization is concerned, they will be looking for a defenceman with the impending departure of Nikita Zadorov and Dillon is on their radar.
