SAN JOSE — A handful of NHL teams, including the Sharks, were interested in signing Brenden Dillon as he was playing his overage season with the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League in 2011.
Dillon, who had gone undrafted, signed a three-year entry contract with the Dallas Stars in March of that year.

So when Dillon was acquired by the Sharks from Dallas during the 2014-15 season for fellow blueliner Jason Demers, he and general manager Doug Wilson couldn’t help but share a laugh at the serendipity of it all.
“(Wilson) was kind of like, ‘Small world, we ended up getting you after all,'” Dillon said.
