Friedman: Travis Dermott very likely to be traded.

[Leaf Fans]

Changed my mind? That was my first post on the "proposal".

 

[cannucky]

Nah. Him coming back will be a massive help.

My point exactly he needs to be back before the playoffs or he's going to be a liability the first few games .

 

[KasperTheGrittyGhost]

Dermott for Gagner? Send Sam home to play with his buddy JT, give Toronto a capable bottom 6 guy who can swing up if injuries bite during the playoffs.

 

[shortfuze]

Hes in his D+7 year and put up 5 points this season. I'm not sure how much developing he still has lol.

I understand what your saying but sometimes it takes players a little longer. Some guys don’t even make it to the NHL until their late 20’s and have a stellar career. I wouldn’t mind trading him for a reclamation player at 25 that will be around for a while. But not for a 38 year with a year or 2 left.

I get that but if you're trying to win a cup, Gio is a big upgrade on Dermott for this year.

Sean Durzi, Carter Verhaeghe, Mason Marchment are 3 recent lessons why you don't give up on a young player too early. Don't let Dermott be another lesson. Wait another year and let the new GM decide, not Dubas.

Dermott and a couple 2nds for schenn and motte? I dono?

 

[Gstank]

Dermott and a 3rd for Motte seems fair IMO

 

[TheDoldrums]

Dermott and a late pick for Motte seems pretty obvious I guess

Dermott is a vastly different situation then those guys. He is what he is at this point. They were prospects.

 

[BlueBaron]

I feel like Dermott has been on the trading block his whole career. Gotta be a tough situation to develop in

Only if he reads a lot if HF. He wasn't doomed until we drafted Sandin.

 

[mydnyte]

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

As a Leafs fan, i do not think i have ever heard anyone ever say anything of the sort. His top end potential has only ever been middle pairing and that is still the case.
Same way Sandin has middle pair potential, but closer (potential wise) to a #3, while Dermott would be closer to a #4

 

[Bedards Dad]

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.

Do futures play the left or right side?

If you think anyone is saying Gio for Dermott straight up you are being purposefully dense.

 

[pucksakes666]

It would
Be funny if Seattle took him

 

[New Liskeard]

Dermott and a late pick for Motte seems pretty obvious I guess

Not obvious in the sense that Motte is a UFA and Dermott is signed for next year and under control. Dermott for Motte plus. Dermott for Motte and Schenn

Pass… I wouldn’t even trade schenn straight up for dermott (he’s cheaper and plays a good role with Hughes right now). Motte on his own has more value than dermott (even as a UFA) not to mention throwing in schenn too.

The post i quoted literally said gio for dermott and a late pick. Either you hold late draft picks in much higher regard than I do or you're unintentionally dense.

A 3rd for Motte doesn't even seem fair lol.

 

[BatVader]

In this market…. WPG will trade Dillon for Boeser straight up…

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Motte > deslaurier and he got a 3rd so there’s the bar…

 

[A1LeafNation]

To you. I'd take Deslauriers any day over Motte.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

To you. I'd take Deslauriers any day over Motte.

Whatever floats your boat man. Don’t quite get why you think this but good luck with panthers/lightning in playoffs.

Irrelevant. We agree they want futures, what those are is TBD. If you pointed out when the pick was that would be one thing, but you seem intent in crapping on a player for being mentioned as part of a package. You completely ignore they need to ice players now, which was my point.

This is just another in a long list of horrible posts by you, so can't say I'm surprised.
