Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott will need a new contract when or if this season comes to an end.
Because he has spent most of his entry-level deal on the third pairing, and because he hasn’t put up a lot of offense, he should be fairly cheap to sign.
But his contract presents an interesting opportunity for the Leafs, and if they play their cards right they could have one of the NHL’s most valuable players on a per dollar basis in a couple of years.
