This is usually said for any D man that proves zero offense yet is still in the NHL....Avs fans & scouting reports: "Big, mean, strong, physical, Shot-blocking stay-at-home Dman, with good 1st pass, mobile for his size, solid 3rd pair & solid PK'er"
It's a two year deal, with Green and Kronwall as question marks for the year and Ericcson one hip injury away from long term injury list... I don't see the issue. Like someone else mentioned, we are signing him for 5 years... Short term, experienced dman. Trust Stevie people, he's got a plan I'm sure.
Can't roll out a completely green defense and hope they will just get better, we saw how badly we can be beat down when we rolled with all rookies.
He made 900k last year now he makes 2.5M per....I just hope the "nice raise" is $25,000.

Oops. For some reason I read it as he was getting a "rice raise" over $2.5M.
Only about $1M more than the going rate for a #6/7D.
Patrik Nemeth is heading to the #RedWings on a two-year deal with a nice raise from the $2.5 million he made last year.

No, it reads exactly that way:
Nemeth strikes me as a reliable d-man that can play in situations where younger guys like Cholowski and Hronek would get exposed at this point in their careers. The other veterans (Green/Ericsson/Daley) are going to be a revolving door of injuries this year.It sounds to me like we don't really understand the defense situation, going forward. Kronwall might be gone, Ericsson might be done, etc. Yzerman isn't letting that kind of information slip, I guess.
