RolexSub Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Dam...3rd round is a hefty price to pay for Dermott 5points in 43 games this year...definitely we will be making the playoffs now with him. Not so good trade in my opinion..plus we lost some toughness in the backend!! Edited March 20, 2022 by RolexSub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still young, has great wheels and is showing promise in the AHL. Would be a shame not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to have Bone play big minutes in Abby that bottom pair (and likely regress) up here. Yes! I hope we adopt this philosophy… like when we had Kesler, Burrows, Hansen, Bieksa all develop in Manitoba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Dermott any good? So we sent Hamonic to the Sens, and then send a 3rd for Dermott. Is this a good trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically 85% chance we gave up nothing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 3 minutes ago, Alflives said: Don't think this will be the roster that gets us into the playoffs. Plus, Dermott is over 200 pounds. He's only 6' tall, but has that low center of gravity hockey build. He will be better than OEL. Don't say things like that.. No cup contender has 7.2M in wasted cap.. I do believe, If by some crazy unlikely chance we got TWO tanev like dmen to play with huggy and OEL, He would really get a bump in production. We always utilize players against their strengths due to having a weird mis match of guys who don't specialize in anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely yet another year old in the A upcoming. like the deal Boner will require waivers next fall doesn't he? So he is likely traded at some point unless he beats out OEL/Dermott for a spot!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 36 minutes ago, AV. said: Yep, as expected. Hamonic out, Demott in. We swapped older and expensive for younger and cheaper - seems a positive move to me. Net positive. Saved half the cap. Got younger. He’s an upgrade on Hunt. We have logjam of bottom 6 RD in Schenn, Burroughs and Hamonic. Hopefully he can pan out. Him and Rathbone aren’t terrible 3 LD depth. Would have preferred someone with a little more jam at LD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like everyone is so dead against this trade but I see us getting younger, faster, saving cap and this trade has possible upside. Seems like a classic JR buy low on a 25 year old player that sometimes works. Not to mention it puts Hunt in his place as a 7th D, where he rightfully belongs. We turned Hammer into Dermott and everyone's acting like it's the end of days. What gives? You new here? This is kinda what we do.

eeeeergh Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 4 minutes ago, PetterssonOrPeterson said: i get a lot of nate schmidt vibes from him... not sure if its good or bad but schmidt was also a lefty who could play both sides and it didn't work out. we'll see what happens though. Schmidt's deployment was all wrong, his numbers plummeted here in van, and as soon as he left, he rebounded. Plus, I have a feeling Dermott is gonna play on the left side and replace Hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleysteamersmyl Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I remember he played well as a rookie for the Leafs. He was a Leafs fan growing up just like Tavares. He also worn the Leafs pj and still does. https://theleafsnation.com/2022/03/19/travis-dermott-knows-his-time-with-the-maple-leafs-is-nearing-an-end/?utm_source=vuukle&utm_medium=talk_of_town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you know the drill. Everyone will gather in this thread to complain until the next trade is announced. Then all of us will leave this thread and flood into the new one to bitch about that trade. Rinse, repeat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember them talking about that on the radio, but can't remember who. Schultz? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
