"should be a stabilizing influence on his projected third-pair partner and fellow Swede, Nils Lundkvist."

 

[RangersFan1994]

this will be a underrated signing. reminds me of the trade for Kevin Klein. good underrated player.


I hope this works out for both team and player. 29 years old. i'd offer a 3 year deal.

 

[Ararana]

Avs fan coming in peace.

I'm so sorry...

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Never heard of him truthfully.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I want Hartford to finally do some damage. Their defense is full of our best prospects. I want some AHL playoffs next season!

 

[QJL]

Nemeth was NOT good this season. Especially in the playoffs…

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Avs fan coming in peace.

I'm so sorry...

A 7th defensemen hasn’t killed anyone, or has it?

 

[Rongomania]

Avs fan coming in peace.

I'm so sorry...

after the week we just had... why are you doing this?

 

[Fitzy]

Avs fan coming in peace.

I'm so sorry...

You'll be okay

Was hoping for better but he’s a stop gap till kids are ready

 

[McRanger92]

Goodrow, Blais & now Nemeth are all defensively responsible veterans to insulate the kids and protect leads late. Added bonus that he's a swede and can help Nils' adjustment to the NHL. Solid signing.

Everything I'm reading he is definitely not defensively responsible.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Warm body; knows how to skate; isn't Marc Staal at $2M: checks all the required boxes for his role this season.

 

[Kendo]

Perfect fit, honestly.

We needed a one or two year guy, defensive focused, preferably Swedish, under $3M per. Checks all the boxes.

Let Jones and Robbie cook in Hartford with Schneider and Skinner.

 

[LokiDog]

Nemeth has been relatively solid as a bottom pair guy most of his career but had some really rough games this season, especially the blunder that led to a very bad goal against Colorado in the Vegas series.

He is a big, physical vet and a Swede so he may be a good partner to ease Lundkvist in, but he’s definitely a stop gap #6. Won’t be surprised if Robertson sees some games.

 

[Bluto]

Nemeth is basically Jack Johnson 2.0. Really bad at playing defense. Charmin soft. Turnover machine in his own end. Doesn't do anything well. Typical NYR signing.

 

[Ararana]

Honestly he was pretty awesome for the Avs a few years ago when they were just barely sneaking into the playoffs. But when he came back last year he was dreadful and was absolutely wrecked by Vegas. I hope he has a good bounce back for you guys. He's a likable guy, but be wary of him against a heavy forecheck.

[LokiDog]

He’s definitely defense first, and he plays a rugged game. He’s just prone to very bad decisions. He’s definitely a stay home, physical bottom pair vet. Overall solid as well, but he will have this board screaming at their tv’s at least a dozen times this season.

 

[JayMan82]

Everything I'm reading he is definitely not defensively responsible.

Avs fans are gonna roast him because they had a mess of it outside of Makar in the playoffs. He's just fine for a depth d-man and a potential partner for Nils.

That's pretty much a perfect description of what we need.

Someone who can ease in the kids and be easily shuffled in and out of a lineup to accommodate test runs for our long term pieces.
