Classic Devil
Spirit of 1988
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.

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

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?

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.
