Confirmed Trade: [CGY/NJD] Simon Nemec, Maxim Tsyplakov for Etienne Morin, 2026 2nd, 2027 VGK 1st (top 10 protected), 2028 COL 1st (top 10 protected)

[Johnny Concussion]

Nemec is a RFA looking for an undeserved pay day, reports of 9x7

That's f***ed up.

I'm not a huge Nemec fan but Calgary is setting up a nice D group long-term between Parekh, Bahl, Brzustewicz and Nemec. I am mildly surprised they didn't include Brzustewicz in this deal though, I'm not sure I see a long-term top-4 spot for him now.

Also a bit weird considering they also have Whitecloud too. They're kinda busy on RD all of a sudden.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

basically the same return we got for UFA Andersson

 

[dgibb10]

alue isn’t bad. Not what I’d pay but not terrible. Nemec isn’t a good fit for Calgary tho. Doesn’t make sense. He’s not taking PP time from Parekh or atleast shouldn’t.

I don't think I've ever thought of Nemec as a PP1 guy or projected him to be that.

PP2 time should be enough and top pairing usage

 

[MessierII]

Decent return for Jersey. They could take a swing with those assets.

 

[LeafsNation149]

People overvalue late first round picks extremely hard.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Feels like Calgary was going to offer sheet Nemec, then called New Jersey and they just worked out a deal instead.

 

[goonybird]

2 late 1st is a weak return.

Also got rid of Tsyplakov's 2.25M and got an early 2nd rnder

Pretty decent ammunition for a team that should be contending

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

If Calgary can get Nemec not even to a level beyond what he's shown, but just how he played under lindy ruff they'll make out quite well.

I'm very high on Nemec and have been since he was drafted, I see a lot of Pietrangelo in him. I do wonder what this means for the draft though considering we are so heavily connected to Verhoeff.

 

[Breakers]

Nemec’s draft position does soooooooo much heavy lifting in his valuation

He isn’t that good from his showings

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Should have kept the assets in a rebuild and just drafted Verhoeff at 6th or Carels whoever was on the board still. Nemec is young but that’s 4 lottery tickets they gave up in a rebuild.

 

[TLEH]

Nemec’s draft position does soooooooo much heavy lifting in his valuation

He isn’t that good

He's also 22.

 

[Soundgarden]

Good for Calgary.

 

[MMC]

 

[Tres Peleches]

3 2nds more like.

Does that make an early 2nd a first?

 

[Kranix]

I'm seeing people in here say terrible haul, great haul, overpay, steal, he sucks, he's a star.

 

[Johnny Concussion]

Does that make an early 2nd a first?

No.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

People overvalue late round picks extremely hard.

They aren't great assets to pick with but they are good assets to trade.

The 2 picks in question got Kadri & Andersson. If New Jersey is smart they can parlay them into a big roster upgrade. (Larkin?)

 

[Bizz]

Calgary taken to the cleaners. Good job NJ.

 

[Tres Peleches]

No.

Well then, a late first isn’t a 2nd

 

[TheBeard]

I’m kinda convinced Calgary is moving 6 and either Parekh or Nemec for 2 now

 

[NYR94]

 

[belair]

We've seen time and time again that there's almost no chance you can move him for a similar return if he doesn't pan out. Which is fine, the upside is there. But it feels like he and Parekh will be stepping on each other's toes.

Parekh is 20 years old. Nemec is going to be plugged into the top pair in Calgary immediately. No toes getting stepped on for a few years still.

 

[Johnny Concussion]

Well then, a late first isn’t a 2nd

k.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

God that draft was so horrible, one of the top 4 players traded and another (Wright) probably on the move too, only Slaf and Cooley were decent players and even then not top 3 worthy. Gauthier is decent too.

Cooley, Slaf and Gauthier are all top 3 worthy
