Round 2 Pick 34 – Travis Dermott

With the 34th overall pick in the 2015 NHL entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected high-flying defender Travis Dermott from the Erie Otters of the OHL.

Dermott, an energetic and mobile defender, earned a stellar two-way reputation while controlling play on the Otters’ backend, feeding passes to the likes of Connor McDavid, Dylan Strome, and Connor Brown.

After finishing his junior career in 2016 with 116 points in 179 games played, Dermott would join the Marlies, where he would spend the next year and a half.

Halfway though the 2017-18 season, Dermott would be recalled after posting 18 points in 28 games, and would add 13 points in 37 NHL games for the Leafs.

This past season, Dermott would appear in 64 games, scoring four goals and 17 points while battling injury.

Dermott has missed the 2019 training camp with an injury and will likely miss the first month of the regular season as well.
