Zadorov would cost twice as much and be twice as bad. Just because he had a Girardi cough it up shift while matched with a low hockey IQ partner (Graves) in a 2nd pairing matchup, doesn't make Nemeth bad.

Maybe he doesn't want to be a 7th D? I definitely don't want Nils to be playing with Smith consistently.

Unfortunately this board has been like that lately as well.

He's prime Chris Pronger compared to Zadorov

A lot of people are unhappy with the return for Buch - and while unfortunate, I think it tends to be human nature to let something like that taint your view of every move that happens afterwards.

I wouldn't. I also wouldn't have selected the slop that they did as well
They want to utilize cap for assets it seems.
and I confused his contract with Johnsons, 3 years instead of 4
Some people have no concept of how to evaluate players past "I saw them make some bad plays once and they really super duper suck because of it"

I would love Coleman here. Would fit awesome with Panarin and Strome (if Strome is staying). Coleman certainly fits the “tougher to play against” narrative too and bring the cup winning experience that Buchnevich didn’t. If we are stuck with Zibanejad and Strome again, it’s a pretty smart move and you can move Coleman around lines a bit if necessary. Said it at the time but would have rather skipped Goodrow and just signed Coleman. Coleman around 5 is better than Goodrow around 3.whatever

I have to say I like the fact that certain gms are helping players they are going to move on from by allowing them to talk to other teams before ufa officially opens. I think that is such a quality move to help those players get a jump on the market and find a home if the gm isn't going to resign them.

Zadorov is an excellent skater who hits better than anyone in the league. Absolute beast, and has way more offensive skill than Nemeth. Zadorov is also hilarious and one of the biggest characters in the league
He was primarily their LW. The line was
Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman. But Goodrow can play all 3 forward positions well and is a beast in the face off circle. So the answer is still yes.

Ed if we wanted someone to run around and not defend we would have kept smith. Zadorov is not the right guy. Nemeth is literally perfect for what we need couldnt pick a better guy to put next to Lundkvist

I understand completely. He was my wife and 5 year sons favorite player. Understood he had to be moved and it sucks. We aren’t going to win in every trade but people are gloom and doom when we don’t. It is the consistent negativity with the signings/draft picks and trades which is unbearable lately. Half these posters have no idea what bad moves are since they weren’t alive during the dark ages. Now those were some god awful moves.
Very good defensively, bad offensively. Perfectly fine as a 3rd pair guy to pair with a rookie and PK.
This board is starting to turn into a cesspool. Everyone (including me) didn't like the return package for Buch. I would have been fine if it included a 1st round pick, but it didn't. I feel that because we all soured on that trade it's carrying over to every move Drury will make moving forward. I'm ok with the Nemeth pick, its low risk, high reward. If we plays well he stays in the lineup, if he doesn't he'll be the 7th D or sent down.
