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

[TrufleShufle]

But I don’t think they do that in Utica. Maybe Albany?

If they do, they haven't told anybody who lives in Albany yet.

 

[Guadana]

Indeed it's a smoked one!! I'm happy for him since the hams didn't take him, hopefully Slavkovsky is a bust!!

Slafkovsky stoled your ex?

 

[indfin]

Ehhh…dad. I’m 43 now. I told mom to make you take your meds!

and still happy to take a vacation paid for your old man!

Man I got goosebumps from those Utica clips, happy for the guys and thrilled Nemec is living up to the hype, never had any doubts about it though!

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

I didn't think Montreal was that much of a popular spot around here

i hear they grow some good goalies up there

We shoulda drafted Jiricek tho.....

We shoulda drafted Jiricek tho.....

Is it because he more closely resembles a xenomorph?

We need at least one czech to win cups.

Good stuff!

Seeing him head to the net way more the second half, lots of confidence. Him and Luke anchoring their own pairs for the next decade is going to be fantastic.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

just scored to tie the game

 

[Antiillafire]

Back to back playoff heaters for Nemec. Nitra and now Utica

 

[Devs3cups]

1G, 3A for 4 points in 5 games so far (all 5v5).

Also, leads Utica with a +6 rating and leads Utica D-men with 12 shots in that span.

Not too shabby for his first North American playoff experience.

 

[Bcap88]

Playoffs in nitra,worlds and now ahl playoffs. It just seems as the moment gets bigger the better he becomes

 

[Devs3cups]

Season over for Simon.

Overall, a very good season for him his first pro season in NA.

Let him play the World's, there is no chance Lindy uses him.

Hope that's the decision.

Hope that's the decision.

According to HockeySlovakia he has already been recalled by New Jersey and will join the Devils immediately. Only will go to WC if the Devils are eliminated

Well that's one way to make me cheer for the Canes.

I mean listen, if he gets even a second of NHL playoff hockey then sure, have him stay there. But if you know he's just your bench warmer then let him go to Europe and play some good, hard, international hockey. He'd be our top D with plenty of ice time. Guy's 19, he wants to play hockey, not watch it.

 

[NJ07102]

The guy has played way more games this season than ever before and he is still just 19. I think it is not a bad idea to shut him down and have him watch a couple of playoff games.

Once we eliminate the 'Canes, Nemec will be our surprise insertion for round 3 when we are down 0-2. Holtz for the cup.

LGD!!!!

With one D injured already, he's probably 8th on the depth chart now, and might be the first guy in if an RHD gets hurt. And it's good for him to be around the team where he hopes to be next year.

 

[forceten]

I would have him higher than Smith. With Graves injured he may be next guy in. Smith is too slow and undisciplined for playoff especially against the Canes
