Dermott (concussion) was moved to the long-term injured reserve list Thursday by the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott was already on the injured reserve list, but this move provides the Canucks with some cap flexibility, which is important given that they're close to the cap ceiling. Dermott hasn't skated yet this season and Vancouver termed him as week-to-week Monday. When he is cleared to play, he'll likely serve on the third pairing.

Dermott (concussion) is considered week-to-week, the team announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott was placed on injured reserve before the start of the season and has yet to get onto the ice this year. Even once cleared to play, the 25-year-old defenseman won't offer much in the way of fantasy value given his lack of offensive upside -- he has never reached the 20-point mark in his five-year NHL career.

Dermott (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

There are rarely solid return timelines when it comes to head injuries so Dermott should be considered out indefinitely until more information is available. The 25-year-old was helped off the ice after suffering the injury during a preseason game.

Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said that he thinks Dermott is dealing with a concussion, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott's status for Opening Night is in doubt, as head injuries rarely provide a stable return timeline. The newly-acquired Riley Stillman could slot into a bottom-four role in his absence. Dermott scored seven points in 60 games with Vancouver and Toronto last season.

Dermott needed assistance to get to the locker room during Tuesday's practice session, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's certainly not a good sign for Dermott with Opening Night just two weeks away. Even if the blueliner does miss significant time, his potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players considering has failed to reach the 10-point mark in each of the previous three seasons.

Dermott scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott picked up his first goal and point as a Canuck with a third-period tally. He's been limited to a third-pairing role since he was dealt from the Maple Leafs at the trade deadline. The 25-year-old blueliner has just six points, 43 shots on net, 54 hits, 40 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 56 appearances between the two teams this season.

Toronto traded Dermott to Vancouver in exchange for a third-round pick Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vancouver cleared cap space and a roster spot by flipping Travis Hamonic to Ottawa and now Toronto is making room for Mark Giordano by trading Dermott. The 25-year-old blueliner is averaging 14:43 of ice time with five points through 43 games this season. Expect him to fill a bottom-four role with the Canucks.

Dermott (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Sabres, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott missed the last two games with an illness, but he'll draw back in on the third pairing Wednesday. Timothy Liljegren is set to exit the lineup to account for Dermott's return, but they'll likely compete for playing time in the bottom four going forward.

Dermott (illness) will not play Monday against Washington, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dermott will miss a second straight game due to an illness. Toronto's next game is Wednesday against Buffalo and it remains unclear if the 25-year-old will be ready by then. Rasmus Sandin will suit up again Monday.

Dermott didn't play Saturday versus the Red Wings due to a stomach illness, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

A stomach bug has been running through some of the Leafs' skaters, and Dermott wasn't feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 25-year-old blueliner will aim to recover in time for Monday's game versus the Capitals. Rasmus Sandin and Ilya Lyubushkin handled the third-pairing duties with Dermott out for Saturday's 10-7 goalfest of a win over the Wings.
