Breaking news in Oil Country as insiders Dustin Nielson and Tom Gazzola confirm Travis Dermott will be signing a PTO with the Edmonton Oilers.

Dustin Nielson and Tom Gazzola, two highly respected Edmonton Oilers sports insiders confirm that Travis Dermott will be trying his luck with a PTO. This breaking news was reported on the latest segment of Edmonton Sports Talk earlier on today.

Travis Dermott is no stranger to the NHL. He found the bulk of his success playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2017-2022, but has bounced around the league since then. Dermott played with the Arizona Coyotes last season, but struggled to gain much traction, posting only 7 points through 50 games and was a -14 rating on the ice

According to Liam McCormick from Oilers Daily, There's a handful of reasons Travis Dermott was selected by the Oilers. He's got a history with Coach Knoblauch and Jeff Jackson, and Dermott is far more amenable to a PTO while Shattenkirk and Schultz would rather a contract.

The departure of Cody Ceci has left some gaps in the Oilers defensive core, and Dermott could pose as a cheap solution until the team pulls the trigger on a deadline trade in 2025.
