[Rusty7550]

Today he added power play assist and had very good game overall
6:15 - nice work on the blue line

Is he more of a shutdown D-men or more offensive?

Is he more of a shutdown D-men or more offensive?

Classic two-way D i would say. Not such point dynamo like we would wish.

Is he more of a shutdown D-men or more offensive?

Definitely more offensive

Some people call him offensive D-men but his is definitely a two-way player. He's very solid defensively but supports offense in every shift.

His shot is really weak. He shoots from a distance to create rebounds, but no more

His shot looked good at the HGC, he scored a real nice PP goal against Sweden. But overall yes, he’s not really a shooter. He’s more so a puck rushing defenseman, he’s nearly pulled off a few coast to coast goals over the past 2 seasons in men’s league.

Maybe you should start actually watching him. I highly doubt you doing that. Give him space and time and he will punish you with his wrist shot.

shooting can be improved. I wouldnt be worried about it

I've known him since 2017, I've seen him play in 5 international tournaments. An action does not mean anything. It's about regularity.
He scores very few goals is an unstable fact.

Here’s his nice move from last game

 

[Antiillafire]

Played a career high 28:12 today. No other dman had more than 25 minutes. He Also had an assist.

How has he looked so far this season in both offense and defense?

How has he looked so far this season in both offense and defense?

I’ve noticed his defensive improvement the most, he’s now trusted with all situations for Nitra and has become the no.1 Dman. He’s much more responsible and better at sniffing out chances before they happen. I think there is still room for growth in his offensive game but he’s also been a bit snake bitten. He’s had several close calls and goal posts. The biggest place he needs to improve on is strength but again only 17 so that will come with time.

Looks like his average ranking from that list is something like 5-6 overall.

My take about Simon Nemec. Could very well be my first overall pick.

What NHL player you can compare with Simon Nemec?

He can have the same impact of Makar, Heiskanen, Dahlin, Fox?

I am not sure about his offensive upside, maybe he is next Seider although very unlikely.

Nice, thanks. So if Habs can draft one of Jiricek and Nemec, they are going to have a future top pairing defenseman. This top 10 looks pretty good.
