Simon Nemec Is A Game Changer (MORNING WOO EP54) bölümünün tam dökümü

with this clutch play. Whether it's scoring goals at the 35 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:46.599 last second, shimone, last second, Imach does it again, seems 36 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:54.319 to be that's is what's making him so good. With 37 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.159 all the trade talks of the Devil's needs, I don't 38 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.280 think you can put Nemesch's name in any of these 39 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:11.240 trade talks. I think he is right now untouchable, literally untouchable, 40 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:20.720 because he is blossoming in front of our eyes. But 41 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.639 to have him be this clutch so early in his 42 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.480 career would be an absolute mistake. To be trading him 43 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.360 right now or even having a conversation about it. He 44 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:43.920 should be off limits. You have Luke Hughes signed long 45 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:51.800 term currently, Shamon Nemitz is in his third year of 46 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:59.199 his entry level contract. He's here to stay. His stock 47 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:07.360 and value jumped up dramatically to the point where they're 48 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.319 because it's off the charts right now. You can't even 49 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:20.040 like fathom trading them away, even if Quinn Hughes is available. 50 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:30.959 So think of Shimon Nemetz and Luke Hughes to be 51 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.680 with the Devils for a very long time, something that 52 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.839 Nick Volano in the twenty twenty two draft was actually 53 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:46.480 dreaming about and even mentioned in the draft preview thinking 54 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:58.720 that could happen. We've been critical about Tom Fitzgerald on 55 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:05.720 this podcast, and rightfully so, but this one, as of 56 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.240 the last two months, he may have gotten this thing right. 57 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:23.879 When Kate Madigan, the assistant GM made the announcement you've 58 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:35.720 got six spots on defense, Brendan Dylon, Brett Peschi, Seagan Thaler. 59 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.920 Don't know when Brett peschiy is going to come back, 60 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:53.959 but moving forward, and then you've got Tremon Emets, Luke Hughes, 61 00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:00.920 and Dougie Hamilton. If you were to move for Quinn Hughes, 62 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.120 it's probably Hamilton that's got to be in that trade. 63 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.639 If you bring in a third team, maybe that's how 64 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:17.639 it works. But both teams, both Vancouver and New Jersey, 65 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.639 they need centerman and the Devils don't have any centerment 66 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:32.199 to give. Besides that, Shimone Nemets. He's here maybe a 67 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.839 little ahead of schedule because it's hard to develop these 68 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.519 blue liners. It takes time. But the fact of the 69 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:48.040 matter is he is consistently coming up clutch late in games, 70 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.160 which is why, which is why we call hims chimone 71 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.639 last second Imas as time is ticking, you want him 72 00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.759 out on the ice on those premium, big time minutes. 73 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:15.199 Nemich makes you really forget about Logan Cooley, who is 74 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.279 an excellent player. I mean he's doing very well. I 75 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.800 mean he had four goals the other night. Offensively, he 76 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:30.439 is a mini Jack Hughes. Pod Legends right nine h 77 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:36.559 and one at home, and we're at the Thanksgiving mark. 78 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.080 That is nineteen points out a twenty at the Rock. 79 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:50.000 But don't get too complacent, because the Devil's play Buffalo tomorrow. 80 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.639 Traveling up. They're playing at four pm Eastern, four pm 81 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.759 Eastern in Buffalo, and then less than twenty four hours 82 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:04.480 later back at the Rock against the Philadelphia Flyers, who 83 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.080 I expect the Devils did not take their crap an 84 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:15.480 avenge from the lost last week, which got us crazy 85 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:21.039 here on the podcast, or at least me, Mike Rossy 86 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.399 Quinn for Hamilton Palot, Casey and the second rounder. If 87 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:29.080 they say no, I throw in Harrison Blitzer as a sweetener. 88 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:37.320 U You're not that far off, but I would say 89 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.759 Hamilton has to be Hamilton Polot. That's a lot of 90 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.440 salary for Vancouver to absorb. It's not gonna happen. You 91 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:55.320 got to bring in the thirteen. You got to bring 92 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.559 in the thirteen that's willing to absorb the cap hit 93 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.360 where it's kind of like you bring in a team 94 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.200 that has cap room but they really have no use 95 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.039 for plot, but they're gonna flip them and then retain 96 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.559 that salary. Possibly, I think that's how it may work. 97 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.000 But the good thing about plot is a lot in 98 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.559 Hamilton is they've got their money. It's just the aav 99 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.919 that were kind of taught, you know, kind of having 100 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.080 issues with in terms of trade, but in terms of 101 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:37.200 actually dollars going into their bank account. They're those contractors. 102 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.320 Those

contracts, from what I understand, were front loaded, which 103 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.919 makes the value, the trade value a little bit better, 104 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:49.360 the maneuverability a lot better, just because the actual money 105 00:10:49.399 --> 00:11:03.120 owed is not as high. From what I understand. Steve 106 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.519 Tartas is finding a way to win at home without Jack, 107 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:14.240 Well yeah, and that's that's what the devils have figured out. 108 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.120 Hello to the people on Instagram Live Joe, Carol Sam 109 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.639 joining in. Welcome to the Let's Go to Elve's podcast. 110 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:33.279 Morning wu but here on this Thanksgiving Thursday, just enjoy it. 111 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:38.759 Just enjoy having that car ride to. 112 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:45.279 The in laws, having that car ride to Grandma's, having 113 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.200 that ride to your ma, your dad or whoever. 114 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.960 And those that are away, just enjoy this day. Also, 115 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:09.559 big shout out to our military yesterday. Very tragic what 116 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:17.559 happened in DC with the two National guardsmen here yesterday. 117 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:23.799 As we celebrate Thanksgiving today and those troops are around 118 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.120 the world defending our freedom. We salute you and have 119 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:38.840 a happy Thanksgiving. But dove Zilla says, yeah, the ots 120 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.799 are crazy but exciting. I have to admit yeah. I mean, look, 121 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:50.559 fact of matter is again, I don't put too much 122 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.679 stock in these ots if you want to measure them 123 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.840 if they were to go to the playoffs, you don't 124 00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.519 play this type of OT format in the playoffs. But 125 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:07.000 what I will say though, is Deviose are finding ways 126 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.879 to win points a point, whether it's in a shootout 127 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:16.720 or in overtime. But what's humbling is this team still 128 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.519 has a lot more to do. But it's good to 129 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.159 see Chimon Nemets, whether it's scoring with four seconds left 130 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:38.039 in the third period or walk off game winner in overtime. 131 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.159 But don't you have that feeling anytime he has the 132 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.000 puck in the late late in games, you know that 133 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:54.799 he's got some magic coming. Somehow he is mister clutch. 134 00:13:56.080 --> 00:14:07.120 Somehow he is that game changer offensively, and that's what's 135 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:12.759 making him great. And he could be that rare commodity 136 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.440 and you

just do not give up players like that. 137 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.679 If he keeps on at this rate, I mean, he's 138 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:38.399 gonna be breaking OT records at this rate. Mike Rossi says, 139 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.120 I'm all for this team getting a win no matter what, 140 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.759 but at least stop winning in OT and winning regulation. 141 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.200 Stop giving the other team the one point. Agree but disagree. 142 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.080 It's not like the Devil's drew up. Hey, we're gonna 143 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:57.639 go into overtime today. It just happened. It started to happen. 144 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.039 All these overtime play is when the injury started to 145 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.879 pile up. Mike and the Devil's got some players back. 146 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:14.399 But it's nice to have Cody Glass back. It's done 147 00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:16.759 off It's gonna be out for a while. But I 148 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.720 don't think he has had the impact that the Devil's 149 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:24.440 had hoped for. But Jack Hughes being out, you win 150 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:29.759 an overtime, I'll take it. I'll take it because Jack 151 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:34.200 Hughes represents at least one point per game. That one 152 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:38.279 point could have been the difference between overtime or winning 153 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:43.879 in regulation. That's how impactful Jack Hughes is. You can't 154 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.360 deny the fact that he you know, he's a big 155 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:51.720 part of the offense, especially on the power play. But 156 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:55.000 the Devils still need to fill a couple holes on 157 00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:02.679 offense on defense, they're just waiting for guys to come back. 158 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.960 And if mark Strom and Alan play consistent, it's this 159 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.080 is a dangerous team. They're really not that far off 160 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.799 concerned about this whole Quinn Hughes thing because I don't 161 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.399 think the Devils have to make a trade. But if 162 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.519 they do make that trade for Quinn Hughes, that's also 163 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:28.120 a game changer. If you can make a trade for 164 00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:39.440 Quinn Hughes without sacrificing and trading Shimon nemets Oh wow, wow, 165 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:46.039 wow wow wow. Tom says we are ten one and 166 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.440 one with Cody Glass in the lineup, and that tells 167 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:52.039 you how important it is to have a third line center. 168 00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.679 Third line center. You put in Ryan O'Reilly in and 169 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.360 this is no knock on Cody Glass. I'm talking about 170 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:04.759 building depth down the middle. And think of after trade 171 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:11.240 deadline in March. You've got Jack Hughes, Nikoheesher, Ryan O'Reilly 172 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:18.000 and Cody Glass down the middle who you can roll 173 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.599 four lines. You can wear out opponents. It will free 174 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:34.160 up Jack Hughes not having to double shift. That would 175 00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:39.039 that that's step number one. Remember the years with the 176 00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:48.680 Devils down the middle, they were solid with Jason Arnott, 177 00:17:49.559 --> 00:18:00.200 Bobby Holik. John Madden was a surging named cheenoff that 178 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:07.079 rotated around or Sergey Brelan. I think he played a 179 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.279 little center at times and then moved to the left wing. 180 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.440 But wow, if they can get a third line center 181 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.960 at the right price and move Cody Glass to the 182 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:28.880 fourth line, the Devils would go on these eight game 183 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.839 heaters and be right up there with a Colorado Avalanche 184 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.359 who is very top heavy, getting so much productions from 185 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:48.519 their top people, and the Lampendas, like I said earlier, 186 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.279 still lay a little Greek beef for whatever you call it. 187 00:18:53.400 --> 00:19:01.200 I would love Jared McCann the nicoo hesher I mean 188 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:10.000 Accurian man Stein quoted Jacob Markstrom, giving Niko Heisher the 189 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:18.119 captain a little extra credit. But anyway, we're gonna head 190 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:25.200 out of here, dropping the podcast in about ten twenty minutes, 191 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.839 heading out to Pennsylvania, watching a little high school football 192 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:37.640 on this beautiful Thanksgiving Thursday, and then having some turkey, 193 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:43.440 and we'll be back tomorrow morning.
