Prospect Info: Travis Dermott, quietly leading all defenseman

[LeafFever]

In a more perfect world, I wish we could have had both Aho and Dermott.

The Leafs draft from last year is looking pretty close to perfect.

 

[WHLfollower]

People aresaying he is undersized? Because he is 5'11"? Can't be his weight, he's 200+lbs.

Yup, and the usual BS goes with it. Due to his undersized his not strong on the puck, easily intimidate blah blah.

 

[SprDaVE]

Dermott=Finn

Any reason for this or?

I'm all for different opinions as to whether a prospect will do well or not at the AHL/NHL level... I also like the hear the reasoning.

Only similarity is they were both drafted by the Leafs.

Well that just makes me shake my head. I guess they don't watch Erie games?
He hits pretty good for a small intimidated guy. Not bad in the corners either. Haha

 

[Golden_Jet]

A lot of talk about Marner (well-deserved) but let's not forget abut Dermott. He has 13 points in 10 playoff games, leading all defenseman in points. So far
.

12 games 13 points.

Thomas Chabot has 15gp and 19 points. Could be right for OHL I'm using CHL stats.

 

[Leafidelity]

He's looking pretty good tonight. Seems to be in the middle of everything, including some good battles with Tkachuk and Piccinich

He got a 1st assist on the goal

Dermott=Finn

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

 

[Macallan18]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

That would be pretty sweet. McCabe in his prime was pretty decent.

 

[ACC1224]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

That would be fantastic but I don't see it.
What do you see as the similarities?
Isn't McCabe much bigger?

 

[saltming]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

Dermott can play defense without the can opener though and his clapper will have to get a bit heavier too.

 

[93LEAFS]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

Hope thats a jokes, can't see that one at all. I think if Dermott reaches his ceiling we are talking about a player who leafs drafted but gave up on, Anton Stralman. Very smart player who does everything well, but really doesn't have a trade mark skill like an elite shot or physicality. Really interested to see what he can do at the AHL level next year, in most of my viewings he never wow's me, but he also rarely makes a mistake. Hoping we give him solid top 4 minutes in the AHL next year, him and Nielsen are both very interesting prospects but for opposite reasons.

 

[therealkoho]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

whimsical retort.... two thumbs up

 

[FreeBird]

Travis Dermott = Bryan McCabe 2.0

When will he join the Marlies.

 

[FreeBird]

When will he join the Marlies.

So Johnson and Dermott join the Marlies today.

 

[fahad203]

So Johnson and Dermott join the Marlies today.

Will they play?

I think a Mark Giordano-lite is a better comparison for Dermott. I think Stralman and Dermott are pretty different, though it's a better comparison than McCabe.

 

[BackHandShelf22]

The announcements were just made so who knows. They'll likely get in a week or so of practice to drill in systems before the coaches think about getting them in.

Giordano has a better shot than Dermott, that would probably be his ceiling otherwise. In terms of his playstyle, he's most similar to Justin Faulk.

The Stralman comparison is outdated and pretty bad IMO.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Is the shine starting to come off of Strome?

 

[Diddy]

Is the shine starting to come off of Strome?

? He was voted 3rd best center in the ohl behind two people in their draft +2 seasons. I didn't watch much of the otters or north bay but based on stats IDK how amadio was chosen ahead of him.

No idea, just thought it was interesting

The next wave of dmen, Dermott, Nielsen, Valiev, etc, look pretty good. Better than Harrington, Percy, Loov, etc from the same age IMO.

Andrew Nielsen was a steal @65th! Love this kid and he's going to develop into a top Dman
