2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mermis got into four NHL games between Utah and Toronto during the 2024-25 regular season, but he spent the majority of his time with AHL Toronto around a couple of waiver claims, logging seven assists in 32 contests. He's a passable veteran defenseman, but he'll likely be waived and sent back to the Marlies or claimed by another club prior to the start of 2025-26. Even if he plays in the NHL this season, Mermis is little more than a third-pairing option who can fill in when injuries deplete a team's blue line. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Maple Leafs in July of 2025.
Among Leafs' final cuts
Mermis was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Mermis will likely begin the season with AHL Toronto, where he had seven assists in 32 regular-season appearances last campaign. The 31-year-old did get into four games between his time with Utah and the Maple Leafs during the 2024-25 regular season, picking up one assist, but Mermis isn't likely to return to the NHL this year unless the Maple Leafs' defensive corps is dealing with injury troubles.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2020
2018
With quantity over quality on the Maple Leafs' blue line, Mermis is likely to have a tough time getting into the lineup - if he's in the NHL at all. Last year was a career-best campaign for Mermis, who put up eight points in 47 contests with the Wild. The 30-year-old defenseman is unlikely to see anything more than a third-pairing role when he plays. At this point, a trade to a team with a thinner defense would be a best-case scenario for Mermis' playing time, but there's virtually no need for any fantasy manager to track his progress at the start of 2024-25.
