Prospect Info: Simon Nemec - part II

[Antiillafire]

Still no timeline besides the media quotes that don’t really say anything?

He's been practicing this week. Should be back soon enough!

If there was re-draft, where does Nemec go? I think right now every agrees that Slafkovsky has dropped out of #1 and that it would probably be Cooley taken first overall.

But the #2 pick is interesting. I think right now in a vacuum, I would argue it's a three way tie between Nemec, Jiricek, and Mintyukov. Three defensemen who all bring something different to the table. I think we still take Nemec at #2 given Fitz's priorities and the state of our prospect pool.

I do wonder how NJ and Montreal had Cooley rated and if already having a crop of smaller high end forwards impacted their decision to pass on him.

Looks like he’s progressed to regular practice rather than non-contact. I’m guessing he plays this weekend.

2nd assist

I'm glad to hear Nemec is on the mend.

I wonder if there’s any update on Nemec getting back now that another week has passed? Looking over the Comet’s game summary against the Rochester Americans, I still didn’t see him mentioned. Oddly there was no box score I could easily find on their website.

He played in that game. He picked up an assist

Rough game

 

[Devs3cups]

Can't see here, but Nemec with the assist on the OT winner on the breakout most likely.

That was such a nifty move by Parent. Love that

Seems way less involved in the Utica offence then last year…

He’s played 5 games and has just gone through a pretty scary injury.

Cant wait of his debut. CBJ fans think that we made absolutely wrong decision on the draft and Nemec isnt in the same tier as Jiricek. I want to see them against each other. Not saying that Jiricek is bad defenseman, he is very good, but he is playing minor role and overall Nemec vs Jiricek is a very fun small competition. where Jiricek is very active in offensive zone, but Nemec is much better as two way defenseman. From what I saw pre draft and from some AHL games.

I always love when people who have literally no idea what they are saying make box score scouting reports based on a few weeks of games

Nemec’s 5v5 production last year is highly encouraging to me. He had pretty similar stats to Jiricek without the PP time.

Connor McDavid stinks.

As I remembered he had better ES stats.

13 P1, 21 P Nemec, 11 P, 6 P1 Jiricek.

So its not about eye test only. It's translating to the stats pretty well. If they will become Slevec and Gostisbericek, I will prefer Slevec.

I didn’t go listen to the podcast but if I was there I could have let Ramsey know the Devils were remarkably healthy last year.

It is a little odd Nemec hasn’t gotten a game just to show him what the NHL is like but it’s also not a big deal.

Also, translation can add inflection that isn’t there in the mind of the speaker.

Hamilton - 82 games.
Severson - 81 games.
Marino - 64 games. They needed a guy to play #1 pk to replace Marino though.

It may be hard to believe, but there wasn't an opening for Nemec.
