Patrick Nemeth (Nemo)
- Thread starter crue7
- Start date
Dude’s a gamer. Does all he is asked to do and then some. Knows his limitations and plays within them. Any team getting him will be happy to have him as I sadly see him as the odd man out with all of Ty, Z, EJ Johnson, Mycar, TornadoBoy, BeardedOne etc

He's just another guy that plays better in bigger games. Harder to find with defensive defensemen. At this rate, I would take all 7 of these guys into next season. I'm having a hard time kicking anyone off this team right now. (Ok, Ghetto and Bourque can go)

Enjoying his contributions for the most part and hope he can continue to play well for a long playoff run, resulting in him getting a huge payday from somebody else as a UFA.
Nemeth isn't going to come back and accept being #7th in the depth chart. When he's on his game he looks like a very solid #3/4, even when he's playing poorly, he's still a #6 defenseman.
Love the dude, but he isn't coming back here unless he trade someone else in the offseason.

I feel the same way really. Really happy about his play during the show thus far. Keep bringing it and enjoy an even longer career Nemeth!

He has been absolutely fantastic. Incredibly consistent. But he won't be re-signing here IMO. If Z stays the Avs' left side is G / Cole / Z. At best Nemeth is a #6 here, likely a #7...I think he'll want a likelier roster spot, and will probably get a decent 2-3 year offer from some team out there looking for a #5 who can play PK.

He's a warrior. Avs shouldn't re-sign him but I'm happy he gets to make a good case for himself as a free agent now.
No icing in playoffs since the refs cheat for Avs.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Nemeth last night: 18:24
Makar last night in his second career game: 20:06
Nemeth played the least out of all defensemen, just like he does every night.

Full of guts!!
Not the ideal way to build a team but the amount of guys that have contributed as waiver wire pick ups is impressive.
His performance right now is going to get him a nice payday from a team like the Avs of several season back, a team desperate for D that gets tricked into thinking he’s a potential top 4 solution. Not us anymore. I appreciate what he’s doing for us, and I’ll be happy for him when he gets his new deal July 1.

He started winning me over during that game (I can't remember who the opponent was) where he had several massive blocks in the closing seconds the secure a win. Dude just does whatever it takes out there in the defensive zone and is an excellent penalty killer. I'm now firmly of the opinion that if he's willing to take a reasonable deal you sign him and keep him as the 6th/7th defenseman and make the young guys outplay him to earn a spot on the roster. The fact is without him it's down to Cole, EJ and Zadorov to be the physical PK defensemen, and I don't like having only three players of depth in that category, especially come playoff time.
All that being said, I won't be too heartbroken if he leaves and I'll continue to cheer for him wherever he goes and hope if he leaves he gets a good deal on a good team and has a long career. Off the top of my head I think Toronto or Tampa would be an amazing place for him to carve out a spot as a bottom pair guy for the rest of his career.

Yeah Sakic did well there. Being the worst team in the league helps in that regard as you can just sit back and wait for teams that don't have the space to retain some of their pretty good players and need to send them down. Sakic was patient at the beginning of last season coming out of that really bad year. Being the first team on the waiver list until the end of Nov that year they did a good job identifying some guys that would be available. Once they did they put in a claim and scooped up pretty good pieces.
We'll see what his agent Claude Lemieux is up to.
My guess is the Avs wouldn't mind keeping him for depth but Nemeth getting a better deal somewhere else. A player like Nemeth when another defenseman gets injured would be impressive depth but costly.
Obviously a lot has to do with playoffs, you don't change a winning team if you don't have to.

You are right, anyway, before this season I anticipated Nemeth would outplay Cole but he didn't. Both of them looking really good right now though.
