Confirmed Trade: [COL/DET] Patrik Nemeth (50% retained) for 2022 4th round pick

[XX]

Was retaining salary really necessary?

Or was it a cap floor thing for the wings..

Retaining on an expiring contract doesn't matter.

 

[Ishad]

Neat. Also is this the first direct trade between Colorado/Detroit?

 

[JoemAvs]

Uhh... Colorado needed a defender? Lol.

Byram 2 concussions+ another injury + Covid positive test today (talk about a cursed rookie season), EJ MIA for months now with no signs of returning, McDonald suspended for 2 games, Timmins just got back from injury probably down in the AHL till the end of the season to give him some stability and Bednar has been overplaying Toews, Girard and to a lesser extent Makar hard to make up for it because he doesn't trust the likes of Renouf, Burroughs, Gilbert or Pateryn enough...

So it made sense...

Now I fully expect the Avs to trade their 6th round pick in 2022 for the best goalie available for that on deadline day to make the "picks available in 2021 and 2022" fully symmetric. We are currently missing a 2nd, 4th and 6th in 2021 and a 2nd and 4th in 2022 now.

EDIT:

That said. It certainly looks like the Avs regret the Ian Cole deal right now...

 

[The Kingslayer]

Perfect depth guy. A guy the staff is familiar with. A guy the team is familiar with. This will also help lessen Toews and Girards minutes a bit especially on the PK.

 

[McJedi]

Nemeth was a healthy playoff scratch with the Avs a few years ago when the Avs had a much worse defense than they do now.

this was a throwaway trade. Don’t like or get this. This isn’t depth. This is a #7 or #8 guy.

I think they made a deal involving Todd Gill long ago.

The Avs have a boat load of injuries right now. They have two AHL defenders in the lineup tonight.

Sakic believes in the symmetry of the universe.

Unfortunately, yea. The Avs are basically playing Makar, Girard and Toews just under 30 a night, with Graves getting 20ish. They are only playing their bottom pairing 10 or less.

Would you like some AHL defenders to replace them in the AHL, because we need more picks.

 

[Avaholic29]

Nice depth add. Better than renouf, burroughs, Gilbert who have all seen time. More defensive than Macdonald aswell. Big body, blocks a lot of shots.

Bernier?

Having Ian Cole still would be convenient, and it would have been possible had Johnson gone on LTIR a week or two earlier, but you couldn't foresee that EJ would be LTIR'd for the rest of the season so th Cole trade had to happen for cap reasons.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Bernier?

Bernier for a 3rd.

Upgrade it to a 2nd and we'll throw in an autobiography of Nelson Mandela.

Wings fans It’s happening!!!!

 

[Northernhawk]

Man come on! I wanted the Hawks to get him, Chicago would have paid his whole contract I'm sure, not happy

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Wings fans It’s happening!!!!

Realistically unless Stecher, Namestnikov, or Fabbri (Highly unlikely) is moved I don't expect much more than 3rds and 4ths.

Hard to get excited about because you wont really know if you have anything for almost 5 years.

 

[flyfysher]

Good stable guy for us nothing crazy but got the job done good luck Nemeth

That’s exactly what I thought when he left my Avs and went to the Wings. He made a noticeable difference to our D before we picked up Girard.

 

[Gurglesons]

SAKIC DOES IT AGAIN!!!

 

[hughdreamz]

Win/win IMO.

 

[drw02]

Good for Wings, wasn't sure if any contenders would even have interest in him atp. He's decent in his own zone but offense and transition game is total poop

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Lol, are we that annoying?

Quite the contrary. I’m very excited because it means the season is almost completed and we can gain assets from moving pieces that don’t at all have a place with this team’s future. Whether it be a big or small gain; it’s still a gain.

Also, by moving bodies it can potentially free up ice time for younger players to showcase themselves for a few games before season end.

True.

Though honestly I'm not that excited for anybody outside the guys currently stuck in Sweden, lol. Which is pretty much our entire Top 5 prospects.

 

[M2Beezy]

I must admit, I did NOT see this coming
