Because he's not an every day DMan for them, isn't in the lineup if they're healthy, and is owed 1.5m next season on a very capstrapped teamThis screams "Why?"

I remember when he was touted as a future top pairing Dman. Classic
False memory.

I wonder if he goes to Chicago, they seem to be collecting former Erie Otters
De Haan? Fleury?for who?
Seattle isn't trading their captain for a guy who is barely above what you find on the waiver wire. They are loaded with depth guys, they need quality. They'll trade Gio for futures and hope they pan out better than Dermott.
De Haan? Fleury?
Or maybe Chicago offers a mid round pick and the Leafs use the roster spot and cap for another move
Definitely not, but who cares. Happens all the time with every team in the league.
Oh for sure. I'm just throwing shit at the wall hereif it is Fluery it would need to be a bigger deal than that
Yeah I don’t think many if any people ever said that.I remember when he was touted as a future top pairing Dman. Classic
We have no use for mete, how about aspirot?Or maybe a bad player on an expiring contract and a mid rounder
Change the prospect to Mete. I've been thinking 3rd or 4th + Mete for Dermott makes sense for a while. I wouldnt give up Reinhardt or Daoust on top of a 3rd, could see the organization doing it depending on how DJ feels about Dermott, though.
Sens would wanna send salary back, I assume. I'd probably do Aspirot & a 4th but not sure how the organization values Aspirot.We have no use for mete, how about aspirot?
Rielly's extension kicks in next year so that's 2.5m used up out of that extra 5.2m.said on the Jeff Markek show today that Travis Dermott is very likely to be traded regardless of what else the Leafs do.
We have all heard the rumors of Giordano wanting to come home and I think that is where this is going and I would not have an issue with it for a couple reasons.
1 even at his advanced age Giordano is still better than Dermott and anything that makes Toronto better is a good deal.
but also it would clear 1.5 million off the cap going forward
between Ritchie< Dermott and Kessel coming off the books thats an extra 5.2 million to work with in the off season so if you want to look at it from a future standpoint there are positives there as well.
I am not suggesting Dermott for Giordano straight up but I do think if Giordano comes to Toronto Dermott is in that deal.
That explains why Seattle is so bad defensively.Seattle’s head coach was Toronto’s defencman coach the previous couple seasons. I don’t really know if that is a positive or a negative for Dermott lol
I mean, we certainly think that coaching is one of the reasons we are bad. So yes, agreed.That explains why Seattle is so bad defensively.
Dermott for Anton Forsberg might be the basis for a win-win trade.After seeing the prices for other players.
I'd hope for at least a third + a C+ level prospect or a throw-in for a better player.
A place like Ottawa would be a good spot for him. He's better than what they currently have , Mete/Brown/Holden. He's young and fits their time frame and is cost controlled for Melnyk.
Dermott for an early 3rd and Reinhardt/D'aoust
If he was a right shot Dman I think it would have been a different story for him.Dermott is a solid hockey player who absolutely has the tools to be a top4 defenseman. It's a shame he never developed into that here in Toronto, but clearly he needs a change of scenery at this point. I always believed in him; it just never materialized. I don't expect to get much in return for him, but he's a decent player and I wish him the best. Watching him break into the league was a lot of fun.
