The Colorado Avalanche and defenseman Patrik Nemeth have agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth $2.5 million, reports CapFriendly.
Adrian Dater of BSN Denver was first to report the Avs had re-signed the restricted free agent, who was coming off a one-year deal paying $945,000. Both sides will now avoid an arbitration case that was set for Saturday.
Nemeth was the last player on the Avalanche without a contract, meaning the team now has its full roster signed with about $12 million in remaining cap space, as per CapFriendly.
In 68 appearances with Colorado last season, Nemeth picked up three goals and 12 assists. He also finished just shy of 20 minutes in average ice time, trailing only Erik Johnson and Tyson Barrie for the team lead.
Colorado claimed Nemeth off waivers from the Dallas Stars last October.
