MrCanuck94 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Have been really impressed with Travis. Calm, steady presence, but also has the ability to skate and move the puck. The previous regime may have given out picks for short term stop gaps, but I believe we made this deal because the new regime sees long-term value in Dermott. Seems like a 5 who has the ceiling of being a 3, but will likely top out to be a solid 4/5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it a 1st and 2nd for Garland and OEL? I think it’s more the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland was basically a throw in for taking over OEL's contract. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermott is so underrated in Nuck nation - and that's probably a good thing because expectations won't be sky-high. Our defence is far from perfect, but he's very versatile (can play both sides) and can play top-4 if asked to. And he's only 25! I know we all hate the Leafs, but he's one of us now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been sleeping on this guy ever since he first put on his laces for the Canucks. They’re going to be pleasantly surprised next season. We got him for a steal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 My hope is that Dermott will blossum in Vancouver. He is the right age to take what he has learned and parlay it into a top 4 role. If he can play RD effectively then JR hit a homerun making this trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was excited with Dermott 25, 6'0 -205 lbs LD/RD trade. I also think will knowing systems now and role we will see a very good RD man and he will have fans excited.. Dermott is a great skater with speed.. Great salary 1.5 million.. Go Canucks Go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Sorry, I just don't see what you guys do in Dermott. What does he actually DO out there? He doesn't get many points, which is ok if he's a defensive stud - but he really isn't. His giveaways are one of the worst on the team (especially given his limited toi) and he blocks the least of all our d-men. Schenn has lots of giveaways too, but at least he uses his size and hits. Despute his relative size, Dermott rarely uses it. I don't think he's "bad", but I don't see futire top 4 material in this kid... despite his general poise. He's certainly not a guy for us to rely on if we expect to contend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermott isn't that young, but also not very old (25 years old), so there's a chance he improves a bit. All that said, if he's all that we saw last year, I don't see anything better than a 5/6 guy who just fills minutes, doing nothing particularly great. Not a liability, per se, but not doing anything especially well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we don't know his top yet but I thought he was pretty responsible in his zone play after he arrived in Van. I don't see a top 4 player here but if he can tighten up the bottom end then he is a +. If he can play effective RD minutes then he can give coaching and management some time to find the RD that can truly improve that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RakuRaku Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Can't wait to see Dermott back.. he's a very solid 2-way D-man and gets so little credit... once he and Myers return, it's gonna be a logjam at D... I don't know how we can fit in Stillman and Burroughs... not to mention Rathbone who's got so much skill but still hasn't nailed down his spot... but good problem to have for sure!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'd say Dermott is our 5th guy easily. Schenn has surprisingly remained decent enough to be in our top-4 but I think Dermott could take some turns with Hughes as his skating's a bit better than Schenn. Stillman, Burroughs, Poolman and Rathbone haven't shown enough quality to take minutes from Dermott which is quite disappointing. Dermott was the Leaf's 5-6th defenceman to be fair. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This is a solid #5 or 6 d man better than garbage Poolman or Stillman even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
