Lightning assistant Derek Lalonde has impressive resume for Red Wings’ Yzerman to consider – MLive

9. Patrik Nemeth Left Defense, New York RangersAge: 30Contract: 2 more seasons, $2.5 million AAVBuyout Cap Charges: $1 mil (2022-23), $0 (2023-24), $1 mil (2024-25), $1 mil (2025-26)Scoop: Nemeth clearly did not garner the trust of coach Gerard Gallant in the playoffs. He appeared in the first four games of Round 1 against the Penguins, then didn’t skate a single shift in Game 5 until the Rangers iced a two-goal lead with 16 seconds left.
