He also isn't a young Jackman. At least probably not. Jackman was a relevant 4-line NHLer for a few seasons. MacDermid has almost no hockey ability. It is very unlikely he is anything more then a 4 minute a night goon.

In all fairness, Jackman wasn't a 4th line player until he was about 26/27, so MacDermid could still be a young Jackman. I wouldn't call it a waste of a pick. He might have potential on the 4th line in the future or at the very least he's a good pickup for the farm team in the short term. The Flames have a number of players in the system that they could flip to get a mid to late round pick if they really needed to.
