As warm as bodies get

Mcdavid turned this kid into an early 2nd round pick a decade ago, I hope he makes the team puts up 30 secondary assists and gets paid one more time.

 

[Mr Kot]

OH N-

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Did him and Carrick ever play together on the Leafs/Marlies? There's a decent chance the two of them might be the Condor's top defence pair.

Former Leaf and Erie Otter. It was inevitable.

Doing pretty well with that. Campbell notwithstanding

 

[Rubi]

Nothing to get too excited about here folks.
27 year old dman PTO... that just about says it all.
Although maybe he's a late bloomer.

 

[strattonius]

Actually a coincidentally similar defenseman to Stecher. Didn't get a lot of ice in Vancouver due to injuries but always liked his physicality and athleticism.

I think he'll get a contract just looking at the Oilers blueline depth. A decent 7th dman and probably better than Josh Brown.

 

[Czechboy]

How many 7/8 type damn does it take to fill a top 4 role?

 

[andora]

Exactly the type of player they need

 

[LokiDog]

Meh, Dermott is a guy I’m surprised is on a PTO vs a minimum contract. Not because he’s good but because he’s decent enough to be a serviceable 7/8 a lot of places. This is fine for EDM.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Surprised they haven’t signed Giordano

 

[McDrailers]

It’s more of a problem when you pay one 9.5 million..

 

[crowi]

PTO for Dermott seems absolutely fine. Hope McDavid can kick Nurse's ass to grow to a Top-4 guy.

 

[Half Clapper]

If he makes the roster they will have all three of Arizona's worst D-man last year...Stecher, Brown, and now Dermott. This doesn't sound like a recipe for success.

At least one of them will be in the minors though.

It’s unlikely any more than one would lace them up in the same game unless there are injuries. But it is quite the strategy either way lol.

 

[Kingsfan1]

He just instantly became a top 5 dman in the league…. Watch out rest of the NHL !

 

[Jumptheshark]

I thought we were done with former leafs?

 

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Yucky. Need another warm body to fill out Training Camp.

They're all #6-8 Dmen, it's fine.
Stecher was pretty decent in Arizona though, no?

Not when I watched him. Weak in his own zone, but decent skater and can move the puck up not bad. Just terrible in front of his net though. I think all three of them aren't top 6 D on a team that wants to win a cup. All depth guys imo...
