For??????? What's with these secret trades

Hope the best for him.

Sad to see Dermott go, but it was increasingly clear he was not going to become a regular in our top six.

Definitely deserving of a greater opportunity on a team with less depth. It would not at all surprise me if he eventually put it together.

For a 3rd round pick. Confirmed

Good to get a return on a player who didn't have a future with the team. And Dermott was making too much money to keep on being a #7.

Hope he manages to pull things together with the new team and establish himself more. Seemed like a good guy.

Solid

We Bindy Johal'd Vancouver on this one

 

[Raging Bull]

Dermott is a good player. Very vanilla. Hope he does well in Vancouver, he was passed on the depth chart here.

I think that spin-o-rama in game 6 overtime last year against the Habs probably spelled the end for him as a Leaf.

Bye bye Travis. Good dude, but won’t miss his ill-timed spinoramas

 

[AvroArrow]

Wishing him the best, likeable guy just got passed by better options

 

[notbias]

He was about to be our 9th best D, happy he gets a fresh start, and a 3rd is not bad for him, was hoping for 2nd/3rd area.

 

[PromisedLand]

Good luck Travis.

We drafted him 2nd; and we are getting only a 3rd after developing him? Thats a net loss in my books

 

[BrannigansLaw]

We’ll always have his patented spin move to remember him by.

 

[Westlander]

Not unexpected but a slightly sad ending for a home grown D, shipped out for a third rounder. I never could work out why he wasn’t able to put it together for the Leafs. Wish him the best anyway.

 

[vpasla1]

Vancouver really likes our players lol.

 

[IPS]

Was expecting more back from an elite bottom pairing D.

 

[zeke]

Shitty D Leafs' #8 dman gonna be a top 4 dman for another team.

 

[DarkKnight]

Bad return.

 

[robertmac43]

The return is about right for me. Dermott was never consistent enough to be a main stay on a team with Cup aspirations. We get a pick and some cap space.

 

[Nylander88]

Good return. Happy for Dermott. He deserves a fresh start. He's stuck here. Versatile, can play either side, will be an every day guy in Vancouver likely
