A 3rd is too much for him. His analytics are good but questions about whether his puckhandling and skating would work well on the Avs. Could be another Nemeth.

He’s a good player and brings good things but I agree that I don’t think he could keep up with some of our other players in most aspects and might even hurt us

Fair points. What do you think his value is straight up?

Nemeth last year fetched a late 4th at a $1.5m caphit ($3m with 50% retained). That was a seller's market though and this time will be a buyer's market with many options available. I'd guess somewhere between a late 4th or a 5th, or maybe a depth prospect like the Söderberg trade where Chicago got Rolston.
