Canucks acquire Travis Dermott from the Toronto Maple Leafs

Call it the Travis-for-Travis swap.

The Canucks defence got a bit of a shake-up on Sunday, just one day before the NHL trade deadline.

After trading Travis Hamonic to the Ottawa Senators for a third-round pick earlier in the day, the Canucks then traded a separate third-round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for 24-year-old defenceman Travis Dermott.

The third-round pick in this deal originally belonged to Winnipeg and the Canucks acquired it when they sent Nate Schmidt to the Jets.

Earlier this week, Vancouver was rumoured to be interested in Dermott’s services.
