3 years?! Fitzy come on man
A little longer than I hoped..
1.15 is totally fine for a tough depth player that can do forward and defense. That’s only a couple hundred thousand more than league minimum.
Cannot wait to see him play <7 min a night and do almost nothing to help the team! We still need a big revamp to our 4 line
Why are people freaking out that it’s 3 years? It’s 1.15 aav and the cap is going up lmao
They had to sign him, and all the Metro teams will follow suit. This is in response to Rempe. Devils don’t have any enforcers in their farm system so a 3-year contract make sense.
Once Rempe leaves the Rangers, teams will start parking their enforcers in the AHL.
3 years is certainly interesting but the money can be completely buried so it’s fine
Reaves has been vital for the Leafs run to the C…oh wait…
Happy to see this. We need that “enforcer” presence. Although I understand some of the hesitation on the 3 year length. Wonder what the thinking is there.
I like it. We need a tough bottom six guy. He should be better next season since he’ll have more time to mesh with the other guys
Great singing. Low cost, and if for some reason we need to move him or bury the cost we can. Glad to see he’s back.
jersey protection
Just get the fucking coach right and literally nobody will care
Worst comes to worst fitz gets the coach wrong and we’re hiring a new GM AND coach next summer so 🤷♂️
Idk after this year my expectations have been rightfully lowered.
Honestly Dermy has earned this. He deserves some stability and this won’t be hard to bury or move should they need it. Plus he’s a great teammate and plays a role they clearly need
Basically league min. I’m fine with this.
Give guys like this as many years as they want if it keeps the AAV this low. It literally doesn’t matter because you can easily trade someone like this if you really needed to. What would be worse was if we gave him more money for less years because it would harm the cap situation.
Why is everyone freaking out? We have 0 toughness on this team and it’s needed. Every time Hischier gets decked into the boards nobody stands up for him. Our entire team gets rag-dolled and nobody will fight.
You think we win a cup without grinders?
You know the secret to beating the Devils? Nail them into the boards because they’re small and it will tire them out. They don’t have enforcers to mitigate it and they’ll get tired and lose their speed.
Desperately needed this.
We absolutely need a player like MacDermid. I don’t care if all he does is spend time every practice teaching this soft ass roster how to stand up for themselves and each other.
Good. While I like looking at advanced stats and underlying metrics and all that other stuff at some point you have to just F it and get a real man on this team of soft children.
imagine being mad at this
We are so back
Does the team need quality bottom 6 grinders yes?
Is macdermid good enough to be that? No
Just when you think the typical reddit Devils fan can’t be any more ignorant of NHL salary cap rules, along comes this thread.
You could give an 8 year contract at that salary and it means nothing.
The NHL minimum salary is $775,000 and the Buried Threshold is $375,000, which means teams can save up to $1.15 million in cap space by assigning a player to the AHL.
If you gave him a one year deal, he’d be claimed if you put him on waivers to to assign him to the AHL. Now you have the flexibility to move him up and down on waivers without as much risk of him being claimed.
Excellent news. If you’re anti-fighter I’m sure you’ll have your own gripes, but this was absolutely needed. Glad they secured some protection for NJ’s targeted stars in the fold (when needed).
I fine with this but he can’t be an everyday lineup player
