Prospect Info: New Jersey Devils Draft Simon Nemec, 2nd Overall

[Blender]

Defensemen should only wear 2 through 7 and 23 through 29.

That's it.

 

[JimEIV]

Nah...17 is a forwards number.

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

By next week no one will care what number he is wearing.

 

[Classic Devil]

By next week no one will care what number he is wearing.

I mean... on the one hand, it doesn't matter. I want the Devils to win, and what number he wears doesn't matter at all. I'm almost certain to get a Nemec jersey someday too (I haven't gotten one in years, but as soon as they bring back our actual stripes he's at the top of my list).

But every time I do my all-time team the fact that he wears #17 is going to make me pull my hair out. Someone tell him that #77 is two sevens!

It's been said before even going back to Simon's draft year, but I'm watching some Miro Heiskanen highlights and Nemec reminds me of him a lot.

Dependable in both zones while being more offensively oriented, elite skating, great vision/IQ, poised with the puck, great at finding shooting lanes and open players.

Heiskanen's style of play is a very good comparable to Nemec's imo.

Heiskanen is a really good skater. I’m not sure Nemec is quite as good in that skill as Heiskanen.

I don’t think his top speed is as good, but Nemec’s mechanics and acceleration are top notch. He’s a very, very good skater in my book.

Nemec is a very good skater, and he will only get better when he gets rid of the extra fats and returns to his normal habitual diet.

@Capt Nico Poo knows all about how Finns enjoy the all American diet of saturated fats and deep fried bacon smothered in grease and gravy. A nice gallon of ice cream for dessert. I’m sure Nemec will be just fine.

Many people love this until they die of a heart attack. The problem of weak Europeans is that they have no immunity from childhood to this type of food.

If Nemec didn't play a single NHL game this year I wouldn't have anything resembling a concern.... Provided he doesn't poop the bed it Utica.

Don't have to bring him up and play him just to play him. Our worst right handed D is Colin Miller who is a non awful 8 year vet who will likely break 500 games this year. Man was a perfectly cromulent defenseman for a playoff team last year

They should do it. For at leas 9 games. Only to show him, they have respect to his abilities and his progress.

 

[EXTRAS]

How'd he look at camp?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Looked good with some mistakes here and and there. Probably won’t start on the team given we have 7 NHL D but he’ll be up and playing games at some point.

I assume he will never have the offensive talent to get many offensive minutes with Hughes and Hamilton in front of him?

 

[Guadana]

Your assumption is wrong.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

I assume he will never have the offensive talent to get many offensive minutes with Hughes and Hamilton in front of him?

I mean if you just mean powerplay, it will be hard especially considering he’s coming after them but he certainly has the offensive talent to do so. Such a smart offensive player.


But he’ll definitely get offensive minutes. They’ll just have to be shared given the other guys we have.

In the short term, probably not. Hard to say 2-3 years down the road.

With Nemec I feel like when wife is cooking something really good, usually something braised that takes forever, and the whole house smells incredible and I ask every 15 is it ready yet.

And she just says I told you 4 times...not until 6 o'clock.

You should help her and taste the food little by little while she turns away.

Me too

and then 6:00 comes and you find out Nemec came over for dinner and he ate the whole damn thing.
