With Jones being recalled, Macdermid being traded after clearing waivers allows Abbotsford to have a decent replacement plug immediately. Macdermid enters the AHL while the Heat is in winning mode, it'd be good for development and good to protect our young guys from any dirty cheap shots.
Assuming we keep him for longer, I'm seeing him getting called up for the 9 game stint later in the season and eventually once McGrattan hangs the gloves up for good take McG's spot on the fourth line after a year or two of AHL development.
