[devilsfan35]

woohoo! Hope he develops into a stud

 

[Devs3cups]

He seems like a really poised, likeable and humble kid. Loving this pick more and more every day.

#5 fits him like a glove.

That’s good because if it doesn’t fit Nemec might quit

This is a bad contract and it won't age well. He's too old. These contracts will ruin your organization.

Hate the term, love the guy

They should’ve offered it to a bantam in the devils youth org instead.

I have a friend who is an EXTREMELY casual hockey fan that roots for the Sabres. After they signed Eichel to his ELC, he texted me and said "Holy crap dude, the Sabres gave Eichel a THREE YEAR DEAL! I know he's supposed to be good but he hasn't even played a game yet! WTF are they doing??" I had to explain to him what was going on.

You didn’t watch Seinfeld?

 

[MartyOwns]

oh, oh, so a maestro tells you to put a balm on and you do it

 

[glenwo2]

You didn’t watch Seinfeld?

I did but I was cringing on the joke you tried to use.

Against Foote and Thompson

 

[Darkauron]

Hurtig looked pretty good out there too

Ya honestly not that bad. Big guy, moves pretty well.

Salminen looks like a pretty good skater too for all the bad skater talk he’s gotten.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Against Foote and Thompson

He’s going to be so damn good

 

[Devs3cups]

He’s going to be so damn good

Poise on full display.

 

[Devilsgrl35]

Can't wait for training camp to see how he does against NHL regulars. He's going to get a legitimate chance to make the team.

Against Foote and Thompson

 

[Oneiro]

Nemec being on the NHL squad wouldn't surprise me at all. Even before the draft, it was clear he's already better than every guy in Utica.

He does like to roam, though. B. Smith might have to stay parked in the NZ and DZ this year.

 

[JimEIV]

The first video clip of him walking the blue line looked like a highschooler messing around with grade schoolers but trying to be nice about it.

 

[RememberTheName]

If you told me Nemec didn't break a sweat during this scrimmage, it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[devilsfan35]

Nemec is already better than Ty smith

 

[JimEIV]

He seems like a really poised, likeable and humble kid. Loving this pick more and more every day.

He's low key because of the language barrier I think.

Once he gets more comfortable he'll be a completely different. You saw a glimpse when he said "I hope to play a couple of games in the NHL, maybe the whole season" then a smirk...

Nemec is already better than Ty smith

Poor Ty. He really needs to get in top shape this offseason and work with a skating coach to maximize his stride and acceleration. That and show up 100% healthy to training camp this season.
