Name/Position: Brenden Dillon, D
Age: 24
2015-16 cap hit/contract: $3.27 million, signed through 2019-20
2014-15 year in review: The Sharks acquired Brenden Dillon from Dallas on Nov. 21, hoping to add some physicality to their blue line along with a left-handed shot. The price was fairly high, in that San Jose not only surrendered Jason Demers and a third round pick in 2016, but retained a portion of Demers’ salary.
