Simon Nemec

21-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.
Buries goal Tuesday
DNew Jersey Devils
April 16, 2025
Nemec scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
ANALYSIS
Nemec has already been in a part-time role recently, and he could be out of the lineup altogether once Dougie Hamilton (lower body) returns. Nemec snapped a seven-game point drought Tuesday with his goal straight off a Marc McLaughlin faceoff win. The 21-year-old Nemec has contributed four points, 25 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 26 appearances this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Representing Slovakia
DNew Jersey Devils
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.
