While Nemeth doesn't put up a lot of points he is very solid defensively and is Detroit's 2nd best dman behind Hronek. I don't think Detroit trades him but I haven't heard anything him staying or going. So who knows.

Agreed. With DeKeyser out for the season, there's nobody else on that left side beside Daley and Biega to take the top role, both of whom are bottom pair/7th defensemen guys. It would be a disaster. Nemeth quietly plays like 22-24 minutes for this team. Considering our situation, I don't think Detroit would be eager to move him, but there is very few people on this team who are untouchable, and Nemeth is not one of them. So it's possible.

What would the return ask be?

I'm not sure. I can't imagine Nemeth is worth much more than a 3rd. But again, Detroit would be reluctant to give him up for just a 3rd, just because of our lack on the left side. Green is available, though, and he would probably cost only a 3rd.

Ceci, a 2nd and 5th?
