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

[devilsblood]

No, he was 2nd. He was also the top scoring d-man for Nitra in his D-1 year.

HK Nitra stats

Reg seasons I'm seeing

1)Holesinsky with 39 points.
2)Raskob-39 points
3)Varga-36
4)Nemec-26
5)Svarny 22

The roster, scoring and goaltender statistics for the 2021-22 Nitra MHC playing in the Slovak.

Now Holesinsky had 15 goals and Varga had 21, so maybe they are listed as D but played fwd?

hockeyDB clearly mixed up the positions of those players. Only Raskob, Nemec and Svarny are defensemen from those 5. Check the EP link I posted

I think he’ll be the perfect combination of Topper Harley and Rick Vaughn.

We have to teach this kid control before he kills somebody

yeah but it’ll be more fun if we don’t

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

He's definitely a high end offensive defenceman, in terms of playmaking, zone entries and control. He just lacks that powerful accurate shot that some other offensive heavy dmen have. He's scored like 3 goals in his 70 something games in the Slovakian league, but put up a ton of assists. So in that sense the Roman Josi etc comparisons he's had are inaccurate. David Jiricek actually has the better shot of these two.

Really....

Wait till he is 21 before we write his shot off. That should be obvious after going through it with Hughes.

Fair point, however Josi's career progression is hardly the norm. Like I always say, anything can happen. And I'm not writing anyone off. That whole post was suppose to be positive, that Nemec isn't this one dimensional 'forward dressed as a defenceman' like many seem to think.

That’s great but I’d prefer he arrive a week early to get over jet lag and get settled.

Does it really take a week to learn to say "Hey! I'm walkin here!"?

once you say that you officially become a Jerseyan right?

Don’t the Devils hook up these kids with some practise jerseys etc!?
Vanacek and Nemec both not rocking out old prior teams jerseys practicing. Must be by choice and not a deal at all what so ever . If I was a NHL prospect , I’d be rocking out as much of my NHL teams gear as possible. Off the ice I’d be wearing at least NHLPA shit but mostly my teams full gear like shirts , pants , hat etc etc

What an idiot (him or his agent or both)...

 

[Goptor]

What an idiot (him or his agent or both)...

Imagine if he signed here. Our writer would be all over him and run him out of town.

Luckily he'll get less media attention playing in Columbus

 

[My3Sons]

Bobble heads.

Pens, cheap t-shirts from a giveaway night with some sort of Fan Duel or State Investor’s Bank or Barnabas Health logos, stationary, coupons for discount tickets after buying regular price tickets, and a cheap sponge stress ball foam squeeze toy that has a Devils logo and some lottery logo as well. You know, the good stuff that only VIPs get.

He was wearing devils gear in previous practices. The jersey he has in the pic is HK Liptovsky Mikulas, where he played until he was 14.
He was actually playing some shinny style hockey as well some days with some older retired Slovak players too (Mesar was playing too).

Thanks for the info!

 

[PizzaAndPucks]

He has on plenty of Devils stuff. I honestly don’t even care , I’m just more concerned he isn’t rushed into the NHL this year. The AHL is probably the best place for him to play all year till he earns a call up. i Really don’t want to rush him and ruin his game.

 

[Bcap88]

I would bet we see him in the nhl at some point this year just based on injuries alone
