PATRIK NEMETH - Defenseman - 27 - $3MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
Since being claimed off of waivers from Dallas, Patrik Nemeth has established himself as a solid defensive defenseman at the NHL level. A strong player with great size and strength, Nemeth uses his big frame and above-average defensive instincts to be an asset in front of the net and in corners. Nemeth can contribute on a first PK unit and take on difficult defensive matchups with moderate success. He's not an elite shut down defenseman, and cannot alone anchor a top-4 pairing or handle high-end offensive forwards, but he's a solid contributor and can help balance a second pairing with a very strong offensive #2 defenseman that has some defensive lapses. He's not a top-4 defenseman in his own right but he can fill in there if need be or balance a very capable offensive partner, but he's more of a fit on the bottom pairing with another decent defenseman. He should help anchor a steady bottom pairing in Detroit and at the age of only 27 should play very consistently fine minutes for the Red Wings. He's not someone who will wow you, but he's the type of defenseman who fans won't notice, in a good way. He's a capable penalty killing winger with fine defensive 5v5 play, making him a good #4/5 defenseman.
