Brenden Dillon was an undrafted Defenseman who had already logged nearly 12 years of pro service before he was traded from Washington to Winnipeg in the summer of 2021.

Dillon brought size and toughness to the Jets' blueline, and while he was known for his defensive acumen, he also had his best offensive numbers with Winnipeg, compiling three straight 20-Point years, including 8 Gals in 2023-24, which turned out to be his last year in Winnipeg as he signed in the 2024 off-season with New Jersey.

He left Winnipeg with 63 Points, 651 Hits, and 327 Blocked Shots.
