Top 5-6 looks very promising, but I’m kind of hoping players like Smith/Svech/Cholo are given bigger roles to close out the season and flourish from it. I think 2/3 of them should have been constantly in the line up all year, the other one needed some fine tuning.
Confirmed Trade: [COL/DET] Patrik Nemeth (50% retained) for 2022 4th round pick

I honestly don't know why Smith hasn't been consistently in the lineup since nearly the beginning. Svechnikov certainly produced in a way that he deserved to stay until he didn't, but I'm still doubtful he becomes much.
Cholowski just needs to learn not to be a complete idiot defensively.

Probably as important that Nemeth knows the system as anything else. And he has a backpack to hold snacks
EJ is done, Byram is cursed, and MacDonald is a goon
so at least its a big body to slot in front of Pateryn, Renouf, Burroughs, etc.

Nice.
Well, that was a fun TDL for Detroit. When's next years?
Whoops, totally forgot about Glendening. He's been healthy and not totally useless.

Colorado already has good LD depth. This is very solid insurance. Nemeth is capable. Being deep in the playoffs goes far.

And we need Newhook, but...
Yes I know that's ridiculous... I just needed a setup for the GIF.

Fun fact: Nemeth played with Landeskog growing up. Erik Gustafsson was also on that team. And Fredrik Claesson. Those were the only players on that team who made it to the NHL. Another 4 or so ended up turning pro.
That team was pretty good.

Does this set the market?
3rd pairing defender on an expiring deal, $500k-ish remaining cap hit = 4th round pick

Helluva move by the Red Wings

DET will deal the final blow in the rivalry by drafting a future #1C with this pick.

I actually thought Avs would add a 6th while Bernier is included. This package would make sense as well.
Anyway, Avs acquire the D depth insurance for a cup run with the guy they know for the price they can afford to sacrifice. Nemeth probably plays in like half of the matches if Byram is available. Just wonder about the retention, was it necessary?

Savvy move here by Sakic, I like it. He gets a familiar depth player back for a middling pick. Nemeth has been solid this year and can play the heavy grinding playoff game. Easy to bring him back in to the fold since he knows the system. Good move, good depth.

He's limited but if Toews and Girard get reduced PK time it's good for Avs.

Um, not really... Nemeth was surprisingly good last year, this year he hasn't deserved to be in the lineup for a few months. Him and DeKeyser have been a dumpster fire at times. I am happy for him that he gets to go to a team he knows well and he hopefully will just play #6 kind of minutes when he does get on the ice with a team that defends a lot less. I hope he finds the player he was more often last year in terms of form after this trade. You need depth on the blue-line for a deep run, so I get what the Avs are doing at a low cost for a player that already knows their system and guys. However, Nemeth needs to be a lot better in Colorado than he was in Detroit this year or he will quickly just be eating popcorn in a suite watching games, they are a lot better hockey club than us and frankly he shouldn't have been playing over Cholowski for the last couple months in Detroit...

That's the stat watcher in me that came to that conclusion. His line looks decent for a DRW cellar team. I mean only -1 seems like a win and he's not known for offense so his minor contributions seems about on par with most years. Anyway, he CAN be solid and I like the player, and regardless think it's a savvy move. Will it pay off? Time will tell I guess.

Funny how after all these years, now Sakic and Yzerman are making trades with each other

Those two guys were never involved in the ugly stuff in that rivalry, they were off limits on both teams and it was understood. No matter how heated that thing got, you had a hard time finding Wings fans that had anything but respect for Sakic and while I wasn't on the other side, I never felt Yzerman was hated on the Avs side of things either from what I could gather.
I know some Wings fans do, but I don't have a lot of animosity towards the Avs. I miss the heights of that rivalry, but it was contained to that era for me at least. I really like watching their current team and wish them well. With the way Yzerman and Sakic have always handled themselves, it isn't surprising that they don't see things that way, they just do what they think is best.
