The Vancouver Canucks have acquired defenceman Travis Dermott from the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 2022 third-round draft pick (the Winnipeg Jets' third) mere hours after acquiring their own third-round pick back from the Ottawa Senators for Travis Hamonic.

Dermott, 25, is a left-shot, two-way defenceman that can play either side, though he's spent most of his NHL career on the right side in Toronto. In 43 games this season, he's amassed five points and put up reasonably strong two-way results in a sheltered, bottom-of-the-lineup role.

There's one year left on Dermott's contract past this season, at which point he'll be a restricted free agent with arbitration eligibility. Until then, he'll make $1.5 million against the cap.
