The Avalanche have signed Kurtis MacDermid to a two-year contract extension worth $1.975 million ($987.5K AAV).

MacDermid is a rugged defenseman, who can also suit up at forward for the Avalanche in a pinch. He provides almost nothing offensively, posting just 22 points (8G / 14A) in 171 career NHL games, but brings toughness and flexibility to the Avalanche lineup.
