Description
I think next season will be a make or break season for Travis Dermott. Heading into 2019/20, many Leaf fans including myself were hopeful that he would establish himself as a full-time defender in the team's top 4. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case as he still ended up being sheltered on the bottom pair. That's where he'll start again this season, but if he impresses, I expect him to overtake Justin Holl. In terms of talent, I believe he has the tools to succeed in a bigger role, it seems he just needs to find more consistency. It's not uncommon for defencemen to take time to develop, so I'm writing him off altogether.

    Do you guys think Dermott will overtake Holl by the end of the season as Toronto's 4th defender?

    If Dermott does overtake Holl then Seattle will take him instead.

    im kind of hoping Dermott stays the same and Holl does well so Seattle takes Holl, we keep Dermott than he has his breakout the season after

    You forgot to mention him losing his entire 2019 off-season and first month of the season recovering from a serious shoulder surgery.

    Rehab is not the same as off-season training.

    Yes I think Dermott passes Holl on the depth chart this year. Dermott becoming a legit Top 4 will force Leafs to protect 4+4.

    Holl is likely still on the roster if/when this happens, and Kerfoot is the one off to Seattle (unless Leafs swing a deal).
