Confirmed with Link: Nemec going, going, gone…to Calgary (for two future firsts and a second rounder)

does calgary have anything good

 

[BenedictGomez]

The return better be good & better be a forward. The kid's going to be a solid Dman in a few years.

That said, this probably needed to be done.

Coronato, but that's a pipe dream I think

Maybe we’ll get our scraps back lol, we love to send our malcontents and rejects to Western Canada

 

[None Shall Pass]

RIP the Nemec, Mercer and a pick package

the "not good enough to stick in NJ to getting overpaid in calgary" pipeline rolls on

 

[thebeernerd]

I'd ask if the Flames have any decent scorers but uhhhhhhh

Let's see what happens

 

[dgibb10]

2 1sts, a 2nd, and a prospect taken in the 2nd.

So functionally we would have paid 12th overall+Nemec for B Tkachuk

 

[NJDevs26]

Meh basically firsts in name only, closer to three high seconds

 

[thebeernerd]

SUNNY

And we got rid of Tsyplakov?! What a wizard

 

[Forge]

SUNNY

Meh

 

[MasterofGrond]

Meh basically firsts in name only, closer to three seconds

Picks in the 20s are still better than picks in the 30s

It's fine value for a guy who I at this point, don't think is going to put it together. Gives us some ammo to go after other players

 

[thebeernerd]

That's more ammo for further trades, I think.

 

[MasterofGrond]

That Rangers 2nd is a good 2nd, tbh. 35th overall.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

So much draft capital to make a bigger move. Love this.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Unsexy, but not a bad return considering he’s been awful for a while now.

 

[None Shall Pass]

I like Nemec a lot but that's a pretty good haul for him. Dumping Tsyp with it is a bonus.

 

[Devils731]

I like Nemec but there is a chance he never puts his defense together, is too low intensity, and is barely an NHL player.

Also a world where he does put things together and he’s a 1st pairing 2 way guy.

If Nemec does want $9 million on a long term deal, this is probably good risk avoidance by the devils. It sounds like he wanted out so he may not want as much from Calgary.

 

[JK3]

Need some time to digest this, is it good or meh.

 

[BostonDevil]

Move. Those. Picks.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Early 2nd, 2 future 1sts which may be later 1sts and a B prospect.

Not gonna complain because I’m assuming it’s the best offer he got and it gives us a solid stockpile of future capital that can be used for acquiring players or drafting.

Also Tyslapov is probably a cap dump. So we also opened up some cap space and avoided dealing with Nemec’s big contract ask.

Biggest risk is that Nemec figures things out and becomes a really good defensmen in Calgary.

 

[Mgd31]

I mean I was starting to believe in Nemec early in the year, but he fell apart and if he has another year (awful metrics) like last year, he's basically worthless.

Getting two firsts is great if we can flip them

 

[Forge]

Called the tsyplakov inclusion a couple of days ago lol.

It's a whelming return.
