On Friday, the Devils confirmed via social media that they have acquired Kurtis MacDermid via trade with the Colorado Avalanche.
🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨
We have acquired F Kurtis MacDermid via trade with the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and forward Zakhar Bardakov.
In exchange the Devils are sending out a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and forward Zakhar Bardakov, a relatively solid depth move for New Jersey.
With the likes of Jacob Markstrom still on their mind, this was a solid move to not give up many major assets, and with 249 games of NHL experience with LA and Colorado, MacDermid could play a solid role for this team going forward.
