Brenden Dillon could be a perfect fit with the Boston Bruins especially if he plays with someone like Charlie McAvoy who is more offensive. McAvoy would be able to play his game comfortably knowing there is someone solid backing him up.
Dillon is 33 years old, meaning the Boston Bruins may be able to acquire him for a cheaper price as he is getting closer to the end of his career.
