Not a bad contract for a decent bottom 4 player. Expansion draft bait possibly?

It'll probably be Walker or Roy
Unless they make some big defensive acquisition in the next year, the Kings will likely go 4/4/1 protection in the expansion draft and protect Doughty, Walker, Roy, and Clague.
They'll protect Kopitar, Kempe, Iafallo, and one of Lizotte/Wagner/Grundstrom on offence. Obviously they'll protect Petersen in goal.
Seattle will likely take one of the two forwards from the list above that isn't protected. MacDermid is a possibility but he would be a long shot.
MacDermid is the ideal #7 defenseman. He brings something to the lineup that no one else can bring, but he's the obvious healthy scratch against speed & skill teams that don't require a physical presence. In those games Clague can suit up.
Good signing for the Kings. MacDermid is a class player that has earned himself a full time spot on the roster, if not in the nightly lineup.
