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)

[JPeeper]

Flames (Huska) got Olli Maatta playing like a Norris caliber d-man after he got here. I'm confident Nemec's defensive game will vastly improve going forward. The one thing Huska is really good at it is improving defence.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Wonder if New Jersey tries to make a play for Larkin, Helle, or Robertson now

 

[Breakers]

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

Who the hell said he is a star?

I need somebody to come forward with this

 

[Turin]

Not enough guys named Etienne

 

[Johnny Concussion]

Who the hell said he is a star?

I need somebody to come forward with this

I mean I can say it but I won't mean it. Does that help?

 

[Nocashstyle]

Why is NJD doing this for just picks??

I agree. It’s good value, but a pretty unexpected return because NJ doesn’t need futures, they’re trying to win now.

My guess is Mehta is going to use some of the draft capital to make other trades.

Emily Kaplan also indicated this may be the case:

I like it for Calgary. Really have no idea what Jersey is up to. They're contenders. They're not. They're up. They're down. They're buying. They're selling.

 

[BKarchitect]

He can be great offensively but suck defense or be great at defense but suck on offense.

This is brilliantly accurate IMO.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

I thought Parekh was super hyped. I'd expect him to be taking a prominent role by the middle of next season.

They also need to pay Nemec now.

The pairings will likely be
Bahl - Nemec
Parekh - Whitecloud
Kuznetsov - Brzustewicz
Work in Maatta as well somewhere

 

[MichaelFarrell]

This is what happens when you don’t just take the best player available in the draft. The return for Nemec is what it is but if you look at it as the 2nd overall pick for two late 1st and a guy that is unlikely to make the NHL, that’s a trash return.

 

[Breakers]

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

6 and Simon Nemec doesn’t get within a country mile of the 2nd overall pick

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Skip to 2:30...

 

[Jeune Poulet]

Amateur hour in Calgary.

Again.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Nemec and the 6th overall for 2nd overall.

 

[Lunatik]

I'm trying to digest this.

But in most cicumstances, if I get told I am getting a 22 year old, recent 2nd overall pick for #35 and a picks in the mid-late 20s (probably), I'm not made.

 

[RocketKing]

Did Calgary just get fleeced? Sure looks like it

 

[Lunatik]

Amateur hour in Calgary.

Again.

Weak ass troll. Again

 

[TheBeard]

6 and Simon Nemec doesn’t get within a country mile of the 2nd overall pick

It’s closer than you think.

What a weird f***ing Trade from Calgary

They should have tanked instead, they had absolutly no pressure and no reason to do that

 

[mydnyte]

what’s the rundown on Nemec?

wants 10+ and isnt worth it

 

[Xirik]

wants 10+ and isnt worth it

not really true

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

What a weird f***ing Trade from Calgary

They should have tanked instead, they had absolutly no pressure and no reason to do that

we did tank and it got us 6th overall

 

[BHD]

Multiple first round picks, but they’re from Colorado and Vegas. So…

 

[Old Boys Club]

wants 10+ and isnt worth it

Didn’t realize his contract is up.

What number do you think is realistic for a deal?

 

[Breakers]

wants 10+ and isnt worth it

Said who?
