Nemec with an assist on Mango's OT winner for Utica against Cleveland! Nice little play in the zone to start it off and subtle little block to give more space to Mango to shoot.
Also, a few nice plays/key moments from Simon peppered in the highlight video: 0:38 (offense), 0:48 (defense), 2:38 (offense), 2:48 (offense)
Now up to 3G, 10A (13 points) in 27 games (0.48 PPG). He seems to be getting more comfortable quickly. He has 8 points in his last 9 games (2G, 6A).

It's a good rookie season so far. 18 year old defensmen are not real that common in the AHL either. Its really the perfect place for him to be playing.

Though it looks like Jiricek is doing much better when you look at the stats, you have to remember that 1) he has played with much more talent in Czech WJC and AHL than what Nemec has, 2) a big jump up in competition to NHL will bring up new challenges that frequently exposes players who look good in lower level. In my mind it's Nemec's IQ and skating that will give him better tools to succeed there. I also thought this before they were drafted, after the early year international tournaments, so I'm comfortable that this assessment isn't too biased.
Their all black alternates were beautiful as well, idk how the big club didn’t just copy these

Jiricek also gets a lot more PP time and less PK time from what I’ve read.
They're aight. Reminds me of the Oiler's jersey. Also the red comes off as orange.

Nemec with his 11th assist of the season. Nice feed to Russo who gives it to Mango. Utica leads 3-0 in the 1st. He’s a +3 right now and although he didn’t get a point on the first goal, his rush started the play.
Now has 3G and 11A (14P) in 29 games (game not over). 9 points in his last 11 games.

Nemec has adjusted well to his first season in North America an easier adjustment for a player with elite hockey sense

"Elite hockey sense," said Dennehy, repeating those words before expanding, "…he played against men (in Slovakia's top league), he's got great offensive instincts and sees the ice incredibly well."

Hughes wishes he had Nemecs turns!
Nemec turns like an RV, He has to back up a few times to fully turn.

So you are saying he defends in his own end and occasionally makes contact with opponents?

Nice year. This definitely confirms my belief though that he should end up playing in the AHL next year as well. Then hopefully by playoffs 2024 you can plug him in.
