The Winnipeg Jets haven’t spoken with pending UFA Brenden Dillon
Scott Billeck: Have been told that the chances are slim at best for defenseman Brenden Dillon returning to the Winnipeg Jets. He’s a pending UFA.
Sources have said that Dillon didn’t have any talks with the Jets during the season and didn’t receive any contract offer. As of Wednesday morning his camp hasn’t heard from the Jets.
- Scott Billeck: It’s still possible that the sides talk contract before the start of free agency on July 1st. He said during his exit interview that he hopes they can work something out.
- Murat Ates: On the Dillon situation …. “It’s too early to be sure about his future. I understand that he’s hopeful to sign and I know that talks haven’t started yet. Of course, it’s only May 15 and the Jets are engaged in a head coaching search. Dillon is valuable to WPG. Let’s wait and see.”
