Speculation: Nemec not happy with the Devils?

[TBF1972]

I think the Devils would be out of their mind nuts to trade this player. You need to play him.

You're telling me Siegenthaler or Dillon are too proud to play less for a game or two?

lhd

it would be most likely kovacevic. or pesce or hamilton to recharge. since the early injuries to pesce and luke hughes the backend has been ....

i better don't say anything.

 

[RationalExpectations]

For NJD to trade Nemec I feel like the following conditions need to be met :
- Over the next 2/3 years, they don t see him as a material improvement over any of the current RHD
- They don t see a material difference between him and Casey
- His trade value is higher than Casey s
- He could return a top 6 forward with term (and maybe even help dump Palat in the process if that s something the Devils and Palat want to do)

Else I don t see why they would not develop him by adding him on their bottom pair as soon as next year rather than trading him.
