The New Jersey Devils announced this morning that they have signed forward Kurtis MacDermid to a 3 year deal.
Amazing news!
I absolutely love Kurtis MacDermid and everything he brings to this NJ Devils team.
Check out when I caught up with Kurtis at Locker Cleanout Day below (05:14:00 mark):

Bargain
Iβm happy about that πWe definitely need the toughness!!
π₯π₯ I love MacDermid! Love the fisticuffs. LGD.
Now this is GOOD news!
Got him on a great deal too. Now when FA opens up, go get Zadorov /Pesce and Bertuzzi.
1.15M for 20-25 games per season and 4-5 minutes per game! Macdermid agent had Fitzgerald well! And Smith who plays solid minutes every game including PK, fights and actually puts puck in net was paid less than that and will be gone! Another proof Fitzgerald has no business being into a management
Another step in the right direction, keep it up Fitz πππ
I'm happy with this. The Devils needed some balls.
The same people who say having an enforcer on the team is no longer necessary and a thing of the past, are the same ones who believe all you need are analytics. Number crunching and math is great until you get punched in the face.
Love it. Keep up the good vids bud.
Agreed the 3 years seems a bit much but his cap can be buried and hey if thats the cost of business so be it. Welcome back/glad the sheriff is stickimg around.
I'm good with the 3 years. Had to be 2+. You want a player to put his body on the line for the Hughes' brothers every night; then you need him to be fully invested.
1 year = I'm here until they don't want me anymore.
3 years = i'm here and a part of this.
#23 is my favourite number, and what an epic player to be wearing it on the Devils team
YES!!! We can only hope that this is the first of many positive signings this year. Now go GET Tkachuk!!!!
I don't know how I feel about this. I'm on board for getting some muscle but I was hoping to get someone who can also produce assists as well and hit and fight. Seems like being the muscle is where it ends with him. Hope he proves me wrong.
Oh dear I don't know if the analytics are gonna like this one…
very much need him very muchhhh
"Who just hit me with their stick? Why I oughta…"
Turns around
#23
"Oh, heh….What's up, Doc."
I would really love to be directed to the the replay if you remember which game that was
Devils absolutely needed to get this done..I mean it's a No brainer but maybe this will be the start of a good summer for Fitzy
Good signing. I'm a big believer in domino effects: one player can change a team's attitude. I'm not sure Timo would've fought Anders Lee earlier in the year. And the 5v5 vs the Rangers DEFINITELY would not have happened without MacD there.
Never sell that jersey #23!
glad Macdermid is staying in NJ but i think we need more guys that can throwdown. like Arber Xhekaj
i remember seeing him go after ryan reaves after one of his team mates got hit from behind by reaves like thats the type of Grit the Devils need in their roster and also a good goalie is what they need to cross off their list. Lets go Devilsπππ
I want to say my jersey, but you beat me to it π
My nephew texted me this morning about the Mac signing and it made my OT day even better. So glad itβs for 3 years. His name will be on the Cup.
ABSOLUTELY love Dermy πππ
The toughest man in the national Lets go! Now i got three more opportunities to get his signature on clean out day π
Now go get Zadorov and Xhekaj ππππ
Rather sign someone who actually can contribute to the team
Let's goooooooo!!!!! Knuckles and Gloves Kurtis is about to set the tone for the next few years for us!!
LETS FOOGIN GOOOOOO
This is great news. Iβm not sure why so many fans are bitching and moaning about it. I mean this team has be so damn soft for so long. Whatβs the alternative?
He's not just an enforcer. He's a good hitter and skates pretty good.
That jersey is awesome! How did you manage to get your hands on it?
Wow Iβm shocked Fitz finally did something right. Awesome signing!
Yeah they need a guy with grit who actually gets consistent ice time..
Great Video as always !
Crazy everyone on allaboutthejersey hates this move and are crying about it.
I completely agree with you and love the signing. Hopefully this is the start of the Grit signings. So done with this team being soft!
THANK GOD ππ»ππ»ππ»
