Damn
Utah is running out of people to play defense. . Being a defender for Utah seems like one of the most dangerous jobs in the league.
Good opportunity for Mermis.
He played about half the season with the Wild last year, so he has some extended time playing at the NHL level. And he only makes $775k, so honestly, I think this is a good no-cost pickup. He was also the captain of the Iowa Wild, so he brings leadership qualities. Honestly, I’m happy about this one. We’ll have to see where he falls on our depth chart as Durzi and/or Marino come back.
