Wouldn’t that be a bit of a disappointment if he only became Noah Dobson, especially if a team takes him in the top 10?
Trust me Dobson plays a lot better than his stats show. He's been having to carry Chara on his back this season so his stats haven't been much better
Curious, did you watch Brandt Clarke last year in Slovakia? I wonder how they compare by the eye test
Yes I watched a lot of Clarke. He had a very good season and I thought he should’ve been a top 5 pick. As for how they compare, they are stylistically different players. Clarke is more of an offensive risk taker. Nemec has the better PPG but Clarke had to deal with adjustments of playing overseas. Nemec is better defensively. Clarke jumps up in the play lots but would also get caught defensively. I remember he got burnt several times by Chromiak when they played each other.
Thanks! Always great to hear insight from those who can watch the players, very helpful
Dobson just turned 22 this month, and has been playing 20-23 mins a night, at a 0.5 point/game pace on a bad team this year. Thats great development, and would be a nice path for Nemec.
also from what @Antiillafire is saying, a lot of it is close to what Dobson is currently doing on the isles. I also could see the Miro Heiskanen also is a very good comparison given how he's a reliable defenseman
he's passing Jiricek with this pace of production. Sheesh this dude broke Lubo's record in Slovakia, that's really nice
It’s a shame Lubo struggled with injuries. He was so good when healthy. Almost a ppg scorer at a few instances in his NHL career. If Nemec could have his type of career (minus the injuries) that would be amazing
Where do you get that number? I'd be incline to look at the midean more then the average since the very elite talent players that play at 18 probably skewe the number up.
