The Colorado Avalanche and defenseman Patrik Nemeth agreed to terms on a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday.
Both sides will avoid an arbitration case that was set for Saturday. Nemeth's new deal is worth $2.5 million, according to CapFriendly.
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.
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.
