Šimon Nemec - The Slovak teenager who impressed the world

As a Devils fan I can’t wait for October when Simon and Luke make big team

[@18laxX]

As a devils fan I really enjoyed watching this, I think we got the next great euro blue liner👊

[@yoholmes273]

Can't wait to see him with the big club next season

@@yoholmes273 him and wrecking Bahl on the bottom pair is gonna be so unfair😂assuming Luke plays with Johnny Hockey

[@yoholmes273]

@TheCloudyPear Bahl was never impressive until late in this season & by playoff time became an indispensable part of the blue line. Bahl, Luke, & Nemec will all be day 1 NHL starters next season. Not sure who this Johnny guy is you are talking about but regardless of the pairings, the D will be fun.

Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩

This kid will be patrolling the NHL blue line in Newark next season. And I cant wait. The kid is an absolute GEM 💎

[@18laxX]

Yep

[@mayo1273]

well... you were right :D

[@noli3160]

Do you think he's better than Slafkovsky?

He will turn out to be the TRUE number one pick. Juraj was riding high on a great tournament, but has not been overly impressive in the big league. Neither he, Cooley, nor Wright will have the overall game-changing impact that Nemec has. He will be regarded as one of the greatest, if not THE greatest defensemen than has ever come out of Europe. Save this post.
