Have to disagree. Dermott lacks Borgman's size and he lacks Rosen's skill.He's every bit as talented as Borgman and Rosen.
However, at the moment Dermott is a solid NHL player.

They are dumb and Dermott will prove them dumb in short order. He actually already has they just don't get it.

I've been a Dermott fan since his junior days.I tuned in to watch McDavid and came away always noticing this "other guy" which was Dermott.
Button touted Neilson as the top Dman prospect for the Leafs at the start of last season. I firmly believe he has opinions just to stir some discussion; or he doesn’t know what he is talking about and out of an NHL job.
Far from the truth. Dermott is more skilled than Rosen by all accounts and has been that way since junior. In his D1, OHL coaches were polled and rated him as one of the top 3 best offensive defensemen in the league. Rosen needs larger ice to thrive, he will never be successful in the NHL, whereas Dermott can handle pucks in a phone booth.Have to disagree. Dermott lacks Borgman's size and he lacks Rosen's skill.

Dermott is the best all around D man that this team has developed in ages.
Wouldn't be the first dead guy traded for in professional sports, but hopefully, the last.Maybe Gord would trade Dermot for John Kordic.

*I created this thread as I could not find a previous thread for Dermott.
Amidst the hype of JT and the Leafs depth down the middle, I was excited to have a full season where we could watch the growth and development of our depth prospects like Dermott, Johnsson, and Kapanen.
Dermott is especially intriguing because he plays a position of need for the club and going forward will be a crucial piece for this organization. Last year he was great when he was called up but was not that great in the playoffs. This year it appears he has taken a step forward defensively and is poised in his position. I could go on about some other aspects of his game that has impressed me to date and how some posters have referenced statistics regarding the quality of our third pairing, but I will keep this short.
Some questions to facilitate discussion:
1.) What is your opinion of Dermott's play thus far?
2.) Where does Dermott slot in for our future? Obviously there is no sense in rushing a young dman and it is probably best to let him marinate on the third pairing for now, but do you foresee a situation where he is paired with Rielly? Maybe he takes over for Gardiner eventually but next year would probably be too soon.
3.) In your opinion, what is Dermott's ceiling? I have previously stated that his ceiling could be Cam Fowler at his best (~40 points).
He's a good diggerWouldn't be the first dead guy traded for in professional sports, but hopefully, the last.
The cemetery getting Dermott would win this trade hands down.

So how can this be, something is wrong or missing? what do you think it might be?
He needs to get more minutes, which is one more reason why Dubas needs to tradeZaitsevGardiner.
Why play Dermott, when Hainsey can be on the top pair insteadNot sure exactly but I think it is a good indication that Dermott is too good for the minutes he gets now. Doing really well with sheltered 3rd pair mins and he is probably ready for some tougher match ups.
