In Dillon, the Capitals get a hard-nosed defenseman who should fit in well with the 2018 Stanley Cup champions. A potential unrestricted free agent this summer, Dillon will only cost $1.635 million on the salary cap. Washington has struggled lately, so it is no surprise that they made a move before the trade deadline this year. More to come?

The Sharks may not be throwing in the towel, officially, but trading one of their pending UFAs seems like a good idea here. In exchange for Dillon (San Jose retained 50 percent of his salary), the Sharks will get Colorado's second pick in '20 and a third-round pick in '21 (which can become a third in '20 if the Capitals win the Stanley Cup this spring).

Dillon will remain a defenseman with negligible fantasy value after this trade. In fact, he should lose some ice time in Washington. So, if anything, his stock could go down in D.C.
