RD Simon Nemec (2022, 2nd, NJD)

[My3Sons]

He's looked like a guy who showed up with a shoulder injury and has had to unlearn everything he was told since arriving in NJ. At his age that's a bunch to deal with. I'm guessing he will rebound as he feels better and picks up the new way of doing things.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nemec has been our worst defensive player for most of the season.

Does he have any offensive ability?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

So he is a dud then since he has done nothing offensively.

He's a 20 year old defenseman returning from injury. Far drom a dud.

What are the chances Nemec gets traded to a different team?

Right now? I'd say almost 0? It's really hard to even find a match of a trade partner. They aren't shipping him off for futures. They're not moving him for a guy with only 2-3 years of team control, I would imagine.

He looked good last year in the show. He's just not one of their top 6 defensemen right now after adding Pesce and Kovacevic and struggling out of the gate himself. At 20 years old, its not really an indictment of him. Nothing wrong with marinating a little longer in Utica to get his game back.
