Rangers sign Patrik Nemeth, Jarred Tinordi in defensive shakeup
The team announced the move Wednesday as the free agent market opened. Nemeth, who was traded from the Red Wings to the Avalanche as a rental leading up to last season’s trade deadline, is a big-bodied lefty who is expected to fortify the Rangers’ third defensive pairing alongside fellow Swede Nils Lundkvist. At 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, Nemeth can protect the front of the net, block shots and play a reliable game in his own end.
