Since Travis Dermott entered the NHL, Leafs fans have been eagerly anticipating the presumed future where he would become a staple of their top four. Dermott is an easy player to dream upon. After being drafted in the second round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, he made the stable, consistent jumps in production and level that you’d hope to see from a young player. He went from an elite player in junior to a good AHL player, to a very good AHL player, to being called up into the NHL.
Visually, he’s also fun to watch. He plays a frantic, frenetic style, all over the ice.
