Devils Trade Nemec for Future Picks

The New Jersey Devils pull off a major trade, sending defenseman Simon Nemec to the Calgary Flames in exchange for two future conditional first-round picks, the 35th overall pick in this year’s draft, and prospect Etienne Morin. Nemec, a second-round pick in 2022 with over 150 NHL games under his belt, may be seeking a fresh start — and this move signals a bold new era under GM Sunny Mehta. Calgary gets a high-upside defenseman, while the Devils gain draft capital and a young blueliner to build around. The conditional picks could be huge — potentially due in 2027, 2028, or 2029 — and Morin, a 21-year-old minor leaguer, adds depth. This is Mehta’s first big move — and it’s setting the stage for a major rebuild. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
