I love this kids game. He can be an absolute monster when he matures

When was this created and how many games sample size? His age is 19 here. Still very impressive though

He’s already great and has so much room to grown. Love this kid.

stick taps to Utica for speeding up his own zone game!

Ive been saying that for over a year before we actually got him, always love seeing certain people that shit on him find out he’s actually pretty decent.
All I could think of was, top 2 centers solidified, top pairing LD secured, haven’t drafted a game changing RD man in ages Nemec be a huge get. But absolutely no way we’ll be bad enough to get that pick again, right?? Kids good now just wait and see.
As for Luke, the Hughes dont typically have good rookie years in NJ so I dont really have any concern that his potential will be owned up to.

I use reddit mostly for hockey and pro wrestling news, and I briefly read this as « Simon Nemec is All Elite. »
It was a very confusing few seconds.

My favorite Devil right now. Barring the occasional rookie brain lapse, he is an exceptionally smart player too.
I love how tough he is too. The man does not back down from anyone.

Impressed by his game so far but this doesn’t pass the smell test.
We’ve got what 6*32 so maybe 200-250 defensemen in the league if you’re accounting for injuries and roster turnover of whatever. Hell let’s say 300.
98%th percentile would what make him one of the 6 best defensemen in the nhl ?
There’s no point in throwing a bunch of shit into a model and concluding “x player is elite” from the resulting point estimate without more context.
I mean it’s always nice to hear good news about our prospects so this strokes our fan ego I guess. Not sure it’s good for much more than that.

Anyway that’s my 2 cents.
