Yeah, I think MacDermid to the minors is off the table. As much as it would excite me.
However, I think there's a real chance any of Bastian, DeSimone and Foote (if he even counts, he's not even signed at the moment) are buried in the minors. If not all of them.
I'm not not even convinced DeSimone was ever gonna be an NHL roster guy unless injuries started happening. Since we re-signed him we've sinceadded 3 more defensemen that weren't here when he was signed (Kovacevic, Pesce, Dillon) and we've only lost one (Marino) in that time. I do think Bahl was already gone by the time we re-signed DeSimone, wasn't he? I believe the Markstrom trade predated that signing by about a week.
