Hey there! I just read about Simon Nemec's situation in the AHL, and I have to say, it's a fascinating topic. It's tough to see a talent like him stuck in the minors, especially after showing promise in the NHL last season. Five points in one game is no small feat, but it sounds like the grind of the AHL is really wearing on him.
I totally get his frustration. The difference between the NHL and AHL lifestyle is like night and day. The luxury of the NHL is something players get used to, and then being sent back to the AHL must feel like a step back. But I also think it's great that he's getting the ice time instead of sitting in the stands. That experience is invaluable for his development.
The Devils have a bit of a logjam on defense, and it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle it. Do they trust Nemec as a long-term solution, or do they make a move to clear some space? I think they should give him another shot in the NHL when the opportunity arises. He’s shown he can compete at that level, and with the right support, he could really thrive. What do you think? Should the Devils make a move to get him back up, or is it better for him to keep developing in the AHL for now?
