Well, it's prob. not below league minimum. My understanding is the AAV is 987k.

Making fun of Macdermid has been a fun meme since his summer acquisition for the Avalanche, as his advanced stats on defense are literally all 0s and the own-zone heat map looks like a gunshot wound.

65 games in? I love him.

Just gotta think with one‘s right brain exclusively lol

Yea, he's not a great hockey player, but he's a great teammate and just fills in wherever he is asked to. Love having him on the team.

To be fair, he’s a much better hockey player than A lot of us thought he would be

 

[McJedi]

He scares the other team and they know he’s on the ice when he’s on the ice. He’s big and fast enough, loves to check and is good at fighting. Has the potential to really demolish someone on any given shift. Legally or illegally, both serve as a deterrent. For a goon with hardly any hockey IQ, he’s not terrible.

So we have our guy to run Hertl the next time the Avs face the sharks. Just go ahead and finish that guy heavy. Legally or not, I don’t care. Just crush Hertl for some payback for his BS check from behind on Kadri. Or LeBanc for his dirty hit on Girard.

Some good ole frontier justice.

 

[AslanRH]

Puts the onus on some of these fringe prospects to beat him out of a job.
Wouldn't be shocked if Sakic doesn't also look at more PTOs as competition next season after his group's success with J. Johnson.

Anyone who has ever played competitive hockey knows that guys like him bring things that aren't quantifiable by analytics. If he allows guys like Mack, Landy, Makar, etc. to play their game better then he's a net positive. Granted, he only really needs to be in the lineup against certain opponents too.

I generally am against this kind of signing but agree with the sentiment here. Clearly, his teammates love him, and there are times you need a goon when the other team is taking liberties. It doesn't prevent anything, but you don't want your top guys having to take exception.

The Avs have to actually let Dermy do his job though. Mackinnon shouldn't be fighting, especially not with Dermy on the ice at the same time.

 

[cheesymc]

Damn was hoping he reached free agency. Cheap contract for one of the top 3 fighters #7 dman.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

tough as nails.....

And about as skilled.

And about as skilled.
