2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending most of 2023-24 with the Devils (60 games), the 21-year-old played only 27 regular-season games last season, spending most of the year with AHL Utica instead. He had a good season with the Comets, notching five goals and 18 assists in 34 games, and played his way back to the NHL by the end of the year and onto the Devils' playoff roster. The stage seems to finally be set for the young, all-around defenseman to grab a full-time roster spot. The second overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Nemec boasts offensive tools that could make him a point-scoring, valuable fantasy defenseman one day, but that might not happen right away in the 2025-26 season when you account for the presence of Dougie Hamilton and Luke Hughes as the two New Jersey defensemen most likely for power-play time.

Overall
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils in July of 2022.
Scores game-winning goal
Nemec scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Nemec has not featured in 14 of the Devils' last 18 games, mainly due to a 12-game absence because of a lower-body injury, but the 21-year-old blueliner came through in the clutch for the Devils in this one. Nemec has already tied his career-high mark in points with 19, as he's tallied eight goals and 11 assists in 35 contests to date. The second overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft is making a strong case to show he deserves a bigger role in the Devils' defensive scheme.

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.

ANALYSIS
Nemec hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 11. He skated alongside Brenden Dillon during Wednesday's practice, which could serve as the third pairing against the Penguins on Thursday. Colton White might be a healthy scratch if Nemec returns.
