While playing with the Saskatoon Blades, Deyell was selected with the 126th overall pick in the 1994 NHL entry draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs. In his final season with the Saskatoon Blades, Deyell scored 159 points in only 69 games played, outscoring star NHL player Jarome Iginla.[4] He earned the Bob Clarke Trophy that season for being the top scorer.
