Confirmed Trade: [COL/SEA] Kurtis MacDermid for 2023 4th round pick

[Larry Hanson]

I assumed they picked up MacDermid to punch faces?
Okay, I have no idea what the hell Francis is thinking now. Some of those picks are just strange when they are only getting 4th rounders in return. It really has to be a full on tank with max cap space I guess.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

.... why not pick up better players to move?

 

[Bandit]

Lol. Seattle

More like "LOL Colorado". I thought they wanted to improve their defense, not make it worse.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I'd give up a 2022 3rd for Grundstrom lol some team might give up more lol what a dumb GM. I bet even Hague was worth more.

 

[Mats26]

I am amazed McDoBird is worth a 4th. Horrible NHL player. Big dumb D men are worth something I guess.
Kings where thinking at moving him to the 4th line because he can't play any defense.

 

[Bonin21]

WTF is Seattle doing

Do you realize how many 4th rounders don't even sniff the NHL...

I rather have a 4th than McDermid on on a contender of all teams...lol

I'm loving the cheap Photoshop of the oversized Kraken logo on top of the Kings uniform. A blast indeed.

I am going to pull a Smokey Robinson and second this emotion

Many do though.
Alec Martinez? 4th rounder
Mikey Anderson a great young d-man on the Kings 4th rounder

Who pooped in your cereal?

 

[JLo217]

Reaves and Kolesar are gonna get their faces punched through the ice next season.

Sure. What, like 15%? Good odds.

Seattle looks so stupid. They made NO pre draft deals, and then took crappy players that get them a 4th back instead of taking a better player and getting a 2nd or 3rd or something...

 

[Mac Attack]

Play him as a 4th line winger instead. Get him to punch out Reaves and anyone else that is coming after our stars. Call it a day.

 

[Mats26]

Just happy he is off the team bro. Seattle did us a favor and got rewarded too.
Time to get serious and bring in some talent on D. I rather see what Clague\Strand can do and maybe look for a UFA on D in case. Need a big body, sign Gabriel or Richie..they won't hurt you as much playing 4th line minutes.

 

[Esko6]

I thought they drafted this dude because he was related to one of the bosses. Just a weird sequence of events.

 

[izzy]

ron francis f***ed this franchise into the soil

 

[BlueOil]

it'll be like nemeth never left + punches

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

That tweet has to be ironic i.e. "we'll never forget you" but you can't tell on the internet these days.

 

[Islay1989]

Avs saying this is Graves insurance or a Nemeth replacement are mistaken. We love MacD in LA, but he gets exposed in transition constantly. He’s a true heavyweight, and he can pull 7D duties periodically, but unless he takes a mammoth step forward I don’t think he should play regularly.

No "Av" is saying this is Graves or Nemeth replacement

 

[Richard88]

Ya this is clearly Joe/Bednar looking to add a guy who can really punch faces when needed.

He's gonna be a 7/8D and probably only play when we're facing rivals like Vegas/Arizona/St. Louis.


Weird trade but I think it fills a need we had, even if it's a very small need.

Since when are Arizona a rival?

Not much of a rivalry when only one team beats down on the other, and half of Arizona are new capdump players who are only playing out their contracts. Even Garland isn't even there anymore for Mackinnon to throw things at

 

[tomobson]

hopefully the Avs dmen don't suffer any injuries.

 

[Islay1989]

Their defense is fine, I'm sure they'll survive icing Cale, Toews, Girard, Byram, MacNorris, Timmins and the corpse of EJ.

Feels like they have more 4th round picks than centers.
