Dermott might not even get you a 4th rounder based on his sheltered role (54% Ozone start), and no special teams play (less than 10 seconds per game average on the PK, no PP time), and no 5-on-5 scoring. He's barely a replacement player for every team in the league.
Dunn and Toews are WAY ahead of Dermott. Dunn is a .38PPG player (compared to .25PPG for Dermott), plays on the PP, and plays in a similar sheltered role. Before Toews was traded (using his NYI stats), he was a .40PPG player, averaging 20mins/night of ice time, and played on the PP. Dermott averaged ~13mins/night.
Dunn, if he's traded, would bring back a similar return to Toews (2 late-2nd rounders, maybe a high 2nd rounder, he won't return a 1st). I'm willing to bet he makes it to Seattle though.
If you want to compare Dermott to someone, he's more like Christian Djoos than Dunn or Toews (and Djoos just signed to play in Europe). Similar age, similar numbers, similar playing time.
