TRAVIS DERMOTT - Defenseman - 22 - $.863MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
On a team that has struggled with defense recently, Travis Dermott has been a massive young, cheap reinforcement to an increasingly experienced blueline. Dermott's best trait is his mobility, and he excels with the puck on his stick. He's a very smart defenseman and is judicious about entering the rush, and is typically mistake-free. He's not the biggest defenseman, and can get outmuscled for pucks, but he's got great hands and a decent enough shot. He has real 40 point upside, and can be a big help in the transition game. Defensively, Dermott is still improving but is smart enough to be in the right position most of the time. He won't be a major force along the boards and won't be able to win netfront battles against bigger forwards, but his intelligence will allow him to still provide defensive value and improve as he matures. He's a great puck-moving #4 defenseman right now with upside to be a real #2 defenseman as he gets older, capable of anchoring a second pairing with a worse partner or filling in on the top pairing with another #2.
