Confirmed with Link: Rangers Expected to Sign Patrick Nemeth: Brooks

[OrlandK]

This was a huge mistake and we should’ve kept Smith instead.

Another Drury blunder. Even if one thinks the mediocre Nemeth is OK we could have signed the mediocre Smith for about 1 million for one year instead of the mediocre Nemeth for 2.5 mil for 3 years; a contract that very well might age poorly. The good D prospects should be ready by next season and also it seems insulting to think that because Nemeth is Swedish he will be a good partner for Nils.

 

[Kravtsov420]

Who is actually thinking the Rangers won’t play him that we have signed him for 3 years? You know this management. They have to have at least one close to JMFJ level of a player on D at all times

the young kids will not play over him

 

[aufheben]

I kind of just assumed this guy was on a 1-year deal for like $1M

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Idk he’s been fine

Reality is all these D prospects in the minors can’t play here, I expect at least 1 or 2 of them to be moved in the next 12-18 months for help elsewhere.

 

[GbgRanger]

Nemeth has been fine for what he is and he adds some size and grit.

I would rather have Smith but it is what it is.

We have bigger issues to worry about.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

We have bigger issues to worry about.

Yeah, Nemeth and his contract are nothing-burgers.

 

[Zamboner]

Expected Nemeth to be bad, but he has been worse than I imagined, like, even worse than Tinordi

 

[One Winged Angel]

I used to watch him a lot when he played for Dallas. All of what I said is how I evaluate his game. I hope he proves me wrong lol.

You weren’t.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Ok, here we go... this can't be true.

Marc Staal was like really the worst defenseman in the league, except Jack Johnson.

Now we have employed the THREE worst defensemen in the league the last 3 years?

I'm beginning to think this is hyperb0le.

Except it’s not.

 

[One Winged Angel]

"Patrik Nemeth, signed 3x$2.5M by NYR, didn't have a very good playoff round against Vegas but otherwise has been a very effective defensive defenceman who has played both top and bottom pair roles in the past few seasons."



Seems decent. I wouldn't trust all fans opinions because many fans only remember some specific mistakes or only see offensive play. That being said I don't know much about Nemeth but there is some potential according to these numbers.

This is exactly why I don’t take these analytics as gospel.

 

[One Winged Angel]

A lot of cringe in this thread.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

He better be traded come draft day. Literally no reason to keep him and his contract.

 

[Idlerlee]

My enthusiasm is at best lukewarm

 

[mas0764]

This is exactly why I don’t take these analytics as gospel.

The analytics would agree he’s been terrible this year.

Actual picture of Nemeth signing his contract:

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He better be traded come draft day. Literally no reason to keep him and his contract.

Nobody is going to take on his contract.

 

[Bluto]

Just push him in front of a taxi. LTIR. Problem solved.

@Uninstaaled it is time for you to eat your crow. I offer you 2 week old maggot infested crow. This dead rotten crow would be much better at defense than Nemeth. Now eat up and enjoy and may all the boards know that you love Patrick Nemeth.
