Speculation: Armchair GM Thread

[Bringer of Jollity]

We really love high draft position guys that have proven nothing and complain to the media about it around here.

Why am I assuming Trotz doesn't?

I mean he might not but it's looking like he's already given away one good player in Askarov for it.

As I said on the main board that I think there is a bit of a double standard going on. Askarov wanted out and the main boards didn't bat an eye. Nemec does for the same reason and suddenly people thinks it's bad form.

It happens when your team is in a doom spiral. Those guys become interesting because there's a thirst for higher-end future talent, and other than the draft the only other source is Distressed Assets.

They did on the very first occasion his name came up (during the 2023 draft when moving up was being explored) but by the time he got around to actually moving it was old hat. There were similar "we've heard the name before" considerations for Jiricek. By contrast, Nemec's name has not popped up before in this context.

A little bit. The Devils fans that aren't glossing this as a nothing burger are throwing him under the bus, but otherwise, what you said.

What's the objective take on Nemec anyway? He's playing with the Comets, right?

I think Josi is the type of guy to waive if he had to. Its apparent we have reached a point where he is holding the current squad/organization back

NJ would probably be a place he would consider

I don't follow the Devils much but seems like he's had a few injuries and he's been in one of those in-between not quite ready for full-time NHL minutes but probably not benefitting from AHL minutes. This season it seems like he was hurt, another guy has played well, and Nemec just hasn't been that great when he got the chance. Whether it's similar to Jiricek, who seems to have some flaws in his game (e.g. skating, etc...), I'm not sure.
