Maple Leafs re-sign Dermott to 1-year, $874K deal

The Toronto Maple Leafs agreed to terms with defenseman Travis Dermott on a one-year contract worth $874,125, the club announced Friday.

Dermott was the Maple Leafs' final restricted free agent who's expected to crack the NHL roster. Joey Anderson is on the team's reserve list.

His signing puts Toronto more than $1 million over the salary cap, according to CapFriendly.

The 23-year-old collected 11 points across 56 games while averaging 17:19 in ice time during the 2019-20 campaign.

Dermott has spent all three of his NHL seasons with the Maple Leafs, who drafted him 34th overall in 2015.
