The have found themselves in numerous NHL trade deadline rumors, but they haven't really gotten to the center of the action yet. With the deadline at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, there's not a lot of time for that to change, including with Simon Nemec. The 22-year old Slovakian defenseman has found his name involved in the chatter despite his youth and potential. If he moves, though, it'll cost a lot. wrote this on X on Friday morning: "Devils continue to listen on Simon Nemec, who needs a new contract this off-season. New Jersey would only move him in the right package for a top 6 young forward that impacts the group." MORE: D.J. Augustin Jersey E sentially, it sounds like the Devils would want an equivalent forward talent in return for Nemec. Unle s another team really feels it has a gap in the future of its defense and has a surplus of forwards, that'll be unlikely to happen. Still, it's fascinating that the chatter exists at all. Nemec was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft by the Devils. He has played in 130 games overall for New Jersey, including 48 this season. In those 48 games in 2025-26, Nemec has nine goals and 12 a sists (21 points). He also has 69 blocked shots. This is already a career-best season for Nemec in goals and points, and the Devils will still likely have strong belief in his future. But there's at least a chance an offer wins them over on Friday and that future changes. More NHL news: Evan Fournier Jersey |
