That was Rafalski-esque. Walk the line and wrist a shot through traffic.

I don't look ahead at the Devils schedule but are there any games against low tier teams to bring him up and get a look at him?

He might be the best option as 4th RD. Who played on the right side when Marino was down? Was it mostly Smith?

Nemec now with 9G, 13A for 22 points in 51 games (0.43 PPG). That's a nice stat line for a first year pro D+1 D-man in North America.
He also leads the Comets in +/- with +14.

From the prospects thread: Became the first U19 defenseman ever to score 9 goals in the AHL
And he'll get ten. And still someone will bring up Jiricek.

When you pass the eye test and produce, you know the kid will be in the league a long time.
I doubt they will pull Nemec from a playoff race in Utica to get minimal minutes in the NHL with the Devils having a fully healthy defense corp. Plus by the time the Devils clinch everything Luke Hughes might be here to take that role.
Nemec has an extremely high hockey IQ and is an excellent and effortless skater. I am sure he will be an excellent player for us in the future, but I'd give him at the very least one more year in the AHL.
Absent an injury it's hard to see NJ sitting any of Sevs, Dr. Evil, or Dan Marino to play Nemec just to play him.
Last 2 games of the season for example they could sit Hamilton.... and give him a game or two, depends if they would have something to play for or not. They surely won't play Hughes and Hischier in Washington in the last game if they're set in 1st or 2nd place, maybe Hughes if he chases 100 points for example.

New edition of Simon's column here: Stĺpček Šimona Nemca: V AHL skórujem ľahšie ako v extralige
Brief summary:
- starts off by describing his 3 latest goals
- says he is more satisfied than ever in terms of the current season, he is playing PP and PK and only one other D-man is getting as much ice time as him
- he tries to shoot more often and cites Karlsson as his role model for this
- he is happy that the team is doing well and is in a playoff spot
- he feels he got better since the start of the season. First on defense and then came the offense

Primary assist for Simon. Very nice pass and vision there, feeds it across to Walsh who one-times it. Seemingly making the best out of his newly acquired PP time.
He has 6 points in his last 6 games (today's game isn't over).
