We had Mac in the game the game Rempe chicken winged Siegs. He was in the lineup last night when Tkachuk was blasting guys all over.Say Fitz had been smart and proactive, and he has enough cap space to get Kurtis and a tough defenseman like Zadorov at the start of the season, how many fewer cheapshots and corresponding injuries do we suffer? I think it is more than enough to make the playoffs this year. We have the talent, and Dawson showed a lot last night. We need the insurance to make sure our talent isn't taking stuff, some of it illegal, that depresses their numbers.
He is a tough guy, and I do think we could use some toughness, especially in the bottom 6/4th line (the entirety of last years 4th line which was good, is now gone) but the problem with Macdermid is he is a bad hockey player who you can only play a couple minutes a game. Seriously hope we can find a better option.
