On November 21, 2014, the San Jose Sharks traded Jason Demers and their 2016 third round NHL draft pick (Fredrick Karlstrom) to the Dallas Stars for Brenden Dillon.
During his time with the Stars, Dillon collected nine goals and 26 points in 149 games. He has primarily served as a third-pair defenseman since his transition to the Silicon Valley. Now, Dillon holds a new role going up against the most threatening scorers in the league alongside one of the best defensemen in the league in Erik Karlsson.
With the two-time Norris Trophy winner on his right side; Dillon has steadily gained confidence and is playing the best hockey of his eight-year career.
