Limited to the LA Kings seventh defenseman, Kurtis MacDermid is looking to expand his role in the upcoming season and become the next Matt Greene.

Some could suggest that the era where size wins championships is, in a word, passé. Of course, while the LA Kings have evolved since their championships days — replacing some size with more speed, for instance — the team continues to stress the importance of size and physical prowess.

After spending the past five seasons between the AHL and the NHL, MacDermid took part in his first full season with the LA Kings in 2019-20.
