Simon Nemec

20-Year-Old DefensemanD
2024 Fantasy Outlook
As a rookie, Nemec put together a decent campaign last year in which he recorded three goals on 73 shots, 16 assists and two power-play points in 60 contests. While the 20-year-old blueliner averaged 1:17 of ice time with the man advantage in 2023-24, he could struggle to maintain that role heading into the upcoming campaign with a healthy Dougie Hamilton in the mix alongside Luke Hughes. Still, even without a major power-play role, Nemec should be capable of getting over the 20-point threshold, and he could even challenge for 30. If he can get some power-play minutes, that number could go even higher in 2024-25. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils in July of 2022.
Reassigned to minors
DNew Jersey Devils  Minors
November 7, 2024
Nemec was sent to AHL Utica on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nemec has an assist in nine appearances with the Devils in 2024-25, but he's been a healthy scratch in each of New Jersey's past six games. The 20-year-old defenseman, who was taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, will benefit from getting some ice time in the minors.

Representing Slovakia

August 29, 2024
Nemec and his home country of Slovakia will attempt to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nemec should be able to gain some valuable experience in international play as the young blueliner gears up for his second professional season. The 20-year-old is listed on Slovakia's second-defense pair, so he'll play an important role for his country's team. The right-shot defenseman registered 19 points with a minus-7 rating in 60 regular-season appearances with the Devils in 2023-24.
