Kurtis MacDermid has signed a new contract with the New Jersey Devils.

Lol

Fitz buddy what the hell is this

It’s perfect.

Low enough there is no buried salary cost
High enough no one will claim him on waivers

Looks like Rempe insurance lol. Also maximum cap hit for burying him in the minors without getting a cap penalty.

Big Mac is only 30, is a solid physical presence, can play forward and defense, and is a solid veteran to keep around. Fully buriable cap hit, so this is really not a huge deal.

Good signing

April fools day was a month ago

Matt Rempe clears

I don’t think it’s that bad. The term sucks yes, but, NJ could bury him in the minors no problem and get that cap hit back.

New Jersey is that unliveable huh?

Wow that's a high cost. It's buriable but like 3 years at 1.15 is definitely more than I expected

Looks like COL was playing Erik Johnson over him in 21-22.

So an overpay for depth. And term. KurDis McTermid.

Doesn't bother me. They're only paying him about $175k more than last year which isn't that bad since the caps going up by around $5m.

Worst case scenario they bury him in the AHL with no cap penalty

I wanted to give you, your 1k like.

I appreciate it!

Apparently not, considering all the NYers that couldn't wait to move here.

MacDermid is terrible even on bottom of the lineup standards. How he’s managed to sign multiple contracts with term is baffling to me.

Good news: This contract is 100% buriable.
Bad news: This contract should be buried 100% of the time.

To all the people over here trying to figure this one out, may I remind you, Jack Johnson still plays in the NHL.
Tells you all you need to know about the current state of defense in the NHL.

Are they that afraid of Rempe?

i'm a brendan smith extension away from burning all my merch

And I thought his last contract was too expensive

And for context, Jack Johnson drew into the lineup 100% of the time over MacDermid.

LMAOOOOO
