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

I want Hartford to finally do some damage. Their defense is full of our best prospects. I want some AHL playoffs next season!
Nemeth was NOT good this season. Especially in the playoffs…

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
like all of this is wrong lol.
