NHL insider Frank Seravalli just revealed that former Maple Leafs defenseman Travis Dermott will be signing a PTO with the Edmonton Oilers in the coming days.

Seravalli reported this news just moments ago, noting that the Oilers plan on signing Dermott to a professional tryout after he joins the team in an unofficial capacity for the captain's skate. This is likely just a precaution as the team wants to make sure he is in shape, but there is really no risk anyways with a PTO as they can release him before the season starts if it comes to that.

This news has in fact, been backed up by other sources as well. This would seem to indicate that this is real, as Stan Bowman is apparently exploring his limited options for replacing Philip Broberg on the blueline.

That being said, many Oilers fans are clearly not very excited about the possibility of Dermott joining their team based on their reactions to this news.

Dermott got into 50 games with the Arizona Coyotes last season, largely playing a bottom-pair role. He had 2 goals and 7 points and was a -14. In his career, he is up to 329 regular-season appearances, and has 16 goals and 62 points. He spent most of his time in the league with the Toronto Maple Leafs where he played in 251 games between 2017 and 2022. Statistically, those were the best years of his career as 12 of his goals and 40 of his points came in that stretch. He was also a +28 with the Leafs.
