2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending most of 2023-24 with the Devils (60 games), the 21-year-old played only 27 regular-season games last season, spending most of the year with AHL Utica instead. He had a good season with the Comets, notching five goals and 18 assists in 34 games, and played his way back to the NHL by the end of the year and onto the Devils' playoff roster. The stage seems to finally be set for the young, all-around defenseman to grab a full-time roster spot. The second overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Nemec boasts offensive tools that could make him a point-scoring, valuable fantasy defenseman one day, but that might not happen right away in the 2025-26 season when you account for the presence of Dougie Hamilton and Luke Hughes as the two New Jersey defensemen most likely for power-play time.

Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils in July of 2022.
Set to miss time
Nemec (lower body) sustained an injury during Friday's practice and will miss some time, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Nemec's injury is not day-to-day, but a timeline for his return is unclear. He has seven goals, 18 points, 50 shots on net and 46 blocked shots through 31 appearances this season. Dennis Cholowski will replace Nemec in Saturday's lineup against Anaheim.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Representing Slovakia
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.
