Our drafting Euros is what sunk Lou and Conte, after drafting Petr Sykora in 1995, the Devils missed on the next 38 Euro players they drafted, I think Adam Larsson finally broke that skid.

The Devils were the 3rd seed in the 2019 draft and coming off a thin draft where the first pick they had after their 1st was the #110.
He then traded away his very high 2019 2nd (#34) and two future 2nd and a future 3rd for two players who were 2 and 3 years away from UFA. It was absurdly bad asset management.
Shero never used any extra 1sts or 2nds in any of his drafts from 2015-19. He didn’t do a functional rebuild and the team is definitely worse because of him.
If he wasn’t gifted two 1OA and his scouts didn’t find Bratt in the 6th round and Sharangovich in the 5th (and Lou did even less) he would be deservedly torched more.
I’ll just point out:
Buffalo drafted 5 time in the 2nd round from 2018-2022 (They also had 9 1st round picks.)
Anaheim drafted 6 times in the 2nd round from 2018-2022. (They also had 7 1st round picks.)
Ottawa drafted 9 times in the 2nd from 2018-2022 (They also had 7 1st round picks.)
Detroit drafted 11 times in the 2nd from 2018-2022 (They also had 7 1st round picks.)
How many times did NJ draft in the 2nd round between 2018-22?
Twice. Yes, they drafted twice in the 2nd round in the last five drafts. And one of those picks was #61.
They also had 8 1st round picks, but as you can see other rebuilding teams managed to get extra 1sts with losing their own 2nds and in most cases getting more 2nds as well.

Two apples last night. Utica got 8-3 loss but Nemec was even.

@Bad Goalie wrote a great write-up about Nemec's game to the Devils forum.

It’s tough because the AHL is the development league that players seem to despise. The Kravtsov issues began when he didn’t want to play in Hartford, I don’t think Grits will want to play for Utica. You basically need to find tweeners that will sign for high dollar AHL two way deals. I think the...
Why would you suggest that he will top out as a 40 point winger?
He had 42 last year and is pacing for 50 this year so yes he is trending towards being a successful pick unless injury hits him hard.

Nemec with 12 points (3G, 9A, 0.5 PPG) in 24 games with Utica with barely any PP time and pretty big defensive responsibilities with a very bad Utica team. Also second on the team in +/- with +9.
Simon is now going to join Slovakia for the 2023 WJC and will most likely get a letter.
Very good season. Especially for a young euro D-man coming over. Future is bright!

He is more known for his point producing, which is going very well given his low PP time and high defensive responsibilities. It seems like the NJD org has made it a point that he improves his defensive game in the AHL. The poise, skating, IQ and offensive vision are all excellent. The defensive side is where he needs more work.

Hi, I'm mat.
That's really funny that the official IIHF account is posting a video with heavy expletives. I guess they don't have any Slovak interns to translate

One part of his game that most fans in the analytic area won't appreciate is how hard he is to beat 1 on 1. Tremendous gap control, stick on puck with controlled sweeps. This is on top of his unworldly composure under pressure. He is safer than Luke for sure.
I hate the Devils for the blueline they're going to have. I mean, they already have a very good defence...
