Nemec I would definitely not call a failed high pick. Until this season, he was developing in a great way. D+2 he played 60 games in NHL playing in top4 role almost 20 minutes of ice-time, PP2, PK2 including. People complain about his defensive play, but he had 105 blocked shots which would be 4th in Habs behind Matheson, Guhle, Savard. If you put it into context of Habs, none of our young D played such important and complex role. We would be extremely happy, if Reinbacher was performing like that this season. Obviously, he is injured, but nobody labels him as failed high pick for that. And that exactly happened to Nemec, he got injured and did not play well at the start of this season. Sending to Utica definitely did not help his morale. Trust me, if he joined Habs today, he would be at least 3RD over Savard this year and 2RD next year.
