  1. Could’ve put the actual trade in the title though.

    NJD receives:
    Kurtis MacDermid

    COL recieves:
    7th round pick in 2024
    Zakhar Bardakov

    Bardakov is a 7th round pick from 2021. Currently unsigned and playing for St. Petersburg in KHL.

  2. Clearing cap space? Don’t know much about this Bardakov guy but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be in the NHL anytime soon.

    Seems like theyā€™re clearing space no? Macdermid isnā€™t great but seems a bit more useful than what we got back (although Iā€™m not going to lose sleep over losing him)

    Speculation: they wanted to send Kurtis down but were worried someone would claim him from waivers, so to avoid that they made sure to get something in return for him

    This is a fucking tragedy. We have no enforcer. Plus, Kermit was 100% on faceoffs this year! 2 goals! +3!

    ā€¦this has to be a cap space move, no? How else does this make any sense?

    Donā€™t care what anyone says, Iā€™ll always love MacDermid. I assume McFarland knows what heā€™s doing and thereā€™s a reason for this move, but gonna miss seeing the big guy on the ice. Man could he level fools. Loved seeing him get a few goals during his run here too.

    Reminder that MacDermidā€™s name will forever be on the cup, more than McDavid or Matthews can say.

    Go beat up on the East Coast teams, you beautiful man

    We all knew there would be sacrifices this trade deadline.

    No matter how much I felt like he was a liability it still sucks to see him go. Thank you Dermy

    Shoutout to that video of MacDermid holding the cup over his head at a bar in Denver, drunkenly falling backwards, and shielding the cup as he landed square on the ground. The man never stopped edit: found it, starts at 1:10Ā https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UxbxpgGokRc

  11. Dermy wasn’t playing much but anytime someone from the Cup run leaves, it hits in the feels. I will miss how no one looked more surprised than he did when he scored a goal.

    My heart is broken. Not elite sniper Kurt šŸ™

    This sucks. I lvoed me some Dermy.

    Just last night when Johnson deceded “lets fight, wanna go?” to Wagner, I said “Man, remember when Dermy would do that? He’d be all “I wanna fight, lets fight”

    Good luck Dermy, we all love you man!

    The Avs hadnā€™t had a heavyweight like Dermy in quite a while. Itā€™s a bummer but understandable. Gonna miss those montages they showed before games at Ball Arena of him whooping ass.

    Thanks for some awesome cup run memories, big guy!

    I am sad, and I don’t know if I can ever love againšŸ˜­

    I feel physically ill. Dermy punching people in the face brought me so much joy. Safe travels, Cowpoke
