Confirmed with Link: [COL/SEA] Avs Acquire D Kurtis MacDermid for 2023 4th round pick

[Arto Kilponen]

Nemeth replacement. Good move.

 

[Ararana]

Sakic watcha doin' boo?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

He'll beat the snot out of Ryan Reaves and anyone on the Vegas team.

The positive in this

 

[sethro109]

I need to see a little MacD and big MacD pairing just for the luls.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Trying to get tougher… don’t like this trade.

Yeah?

Say it to Man MacDermid's face.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

6'5!"

235 pounds!

At least we have some meat on the bones now.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

This is the classic we underperformed in the playoffs so we need toughness move

Yeah that’s it. Has nothing to do with clowns taking shots at our rookies last year and our best answer being Liam O’Brien.

 

[Ararana]

Honest to f***ing god.... did they actually go out and downgrade from PATRICK f***ING NEMETH?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sakic saw how Graves became a clear cut #1 dman when paired with Makar, MacDermid is about the same size so he's clearly also going to be a #1 dman.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Also just as an FYI; LAK management were going to move him to wing this upcoming season. Guy is the best scrapper in the NHL; knows his role. Not the greatest hockey player though.

 

[JWK]

Yeah that’s it. Has nothing to do with clowns taking shots at our rookies last year and our best answer being Liam O’Brien.

I want our best answers to be someone that can actually play in the NHL

It's not because it is true. I like this trade. Hopefully he scares the shit out of our opponents

 

[sethro109]

In all seriousness though, I wanna see how he does in our system before deciding if this was worth a 4th or not. Some guys seems to flourish in Bednar's system (like Toews) and other do not.

 

[GoNordiquesGo]

Fantastic ... oh sorry, I thought this was Lanny McDonald... never mind...

Liam O'Brien sort of replacement I guess...

Zzzzzz....

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I get that we can bring him in during the regular season for revenge purposes.

Kind of similar to O’Brien last year I guess, but a 4th is a pretty steep price to pay for a guy that won’t be an everyday player.

 

[UncleRisto]

Sakic watcha doin' boo?

This dude over here figuring out what Wade Brookbank's corsi is.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Meh trade. Don't really care about the 4th, if we're contenders that 4th will be worth very little. But if this dude can help reduce the number of runs taken at our smaller players I'm all in.

 

[Pokecheque]

Stupid motherf***ing Avs what the actual f*** is THIS!?

You are mistaken sir. They recognized that MacNorris was only a Norris candidate, they wanted to upgrade him into both the heavyweight champion of the world as well as Norris candidate. Welcome to the reign of MacNorris 2.0

I like this as long as the plan is to play him at forward. When he wasn't ripping out people's hair, I was constantly nervous about Reaves injuring someone on the Avalanche during the 2nd Round.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I want our best answers to be someone that can actually play in the NHL

Oh give it a break.

$900k for a healthy scratch who slots into the lineup when you need to beat the shit out of the other team, and he does that very well.

I don't care about a 4th round pick in 2023.

 

[Pokecheque]

Jeeeeeeesus Christ of all the players to get the Avs get the one I probably hate the most. I cannot f***ing believe this.

 

[BKarchitect]

The Kings dressed him as a winger last year I believe towards the end of the year. His lack of hockey skill will be less damaging as a 5 minute a night 4th line plug than as a 12 minute a night third pair defender.

I also guarantee Sakic got him as well because he’s seen as a tremendous locker room guy and off-ice influence with an insane work ethic in the weight room and gym. I know - it’s easy to scoff at that kind of stuff but MacDermid is well thought of in that regard.

Not great asset management by Joe but we blow our 4th round picks anyways. Not sure I get the complete outrage here. There could be plenty to be outraged about this off-season. This is low on the list.

6'5!"

235 pounds!

You see those shots make it in from the point!!! One came against us. If nothing else maybe he can give tips on how he does that.
