2024 Fantasy Outlook
MacDermid had two goals, one assist, 16 shots on net and 83 hits in 45 regular-season games between Colorado and New Jersey last year. He signed a three-year, $3.45 million contract in May to remain with the Devils. The 30-year-old has logged time as a defenseman in the NHL but has recently become a full-time forward. MacDermid has never been an offensive contributor, registering only 11 goals and 31 points across 265 contests. He plays a physical role but doesn't receive much ice time, and his spot in the lineup isn't guaranteed. As such, there are likely better options for fantasy managers seeking hits or penalty minutes. Still, in a pinch, he could be worth utilizing. Read Past Outlooks

Playing time hard to come by
LWNew Jersey Devils
December 11, 2024
MacDermid has been scratched for eight of the Devils' last 10 games after sitting out Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
ANALYSIS
The Devils look to be finding ways to avoid playing MacDermid -- amid a run of injuries to forwards, call-ups took over the vacated fourth-line spots in the lineup. MacDermid has no points, 20 hits and 17 PIM over 12 appearances this season. Since Nathan Bastian has returned from a jaw injury, it's even less likely MacDermid will play much, as the Devils don't need two enforcers in the lineup.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2018
MacDermid barely played for Colorado a season ago between sitting out due to injury and being a healthy scratch, appearing in just 44 games (one goal, five assists). On the rare nights he was in the lineup, the now 29-year-old averaged just 8:20 worth of ice time. It appears as if MacDermid will be battling veteran Jack Johnson for one spot in the Avalanche lineup for the 2023-24 campaign. Either way, the winner of that battle will have zero fantasy value.
Signed a two-year, $1.975 million contract with the Avalanche in April of 2022.
A big, physical, punishing defenseman, MacDermid has seen action in parts of three NHL campaigns, piling up 198 hits and 115 penalty minutes (but only four goals and 13 points) in 90 games for the Kings. He knows his limitations and didn't have to look far to find someone to model his game after -- he's the son of former Whaler enforcer Paul MacDermid, who racked up 1303 PIM over 14 NHL seasons in the 80s and 90s. The younger MacDermid might never earn a regular shift in Los Angeles, especially given some of the blue line prospects in the organization who will be pushing for ice time in the near future, but he provides an element none of the team's other defensemen do, and that should at least earn him a steady big-league paycheck.
MacDermid is showing signs of being a one-category fantasy player in many formats, and that category is PIM. If his totals from last year between the Kings and AHL Ontario were combined, he's now topped 100 PIM in seven of his eight seasons in juniors and the pros. It's probably not enough to make him relevant in fantasy arenas, though.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closing in on return
LWNew Jersey Devils
April 1, 2024
MacDermid, who has been out with a lower-body injury, may return to action during the Devils' next four games, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Travis Green wouldn't give a definitive return date for MacDermid, but it certainly seems he will be back sooner rather than later. Even with the 30-year-old winger's injury concerns behind him, he is far from a lock for the lineup and could serve as a healthy scratch periodically. When he does play, MacDermid is averaging a meager 4:06 of ice time per game with the Devils, so fantasy managers shouldn't be counting on him for much of anything.
