New Jersey trades defenseman Simon Nemec to the Calgary Flames in a deal that sends the 22-year-old blueliner out of the Devils’ organization. The reports say the Devils’ return includes a large package of draft capital and a prospect. New Jersey receives two future conditional first-round picks, along with additional draft assets including a second-round pick and a first-round selection this year (No. 35 overall), as part of the agreement. The trade also includes prospect Etienne Morin. Multiple outlets describe the transaction as a significant move tied to New Jersey’s new general manager, Sunny Mehta, and as his first major roster transaction. One report notes that there has been interest in a change of scenery for Nemec, with trade speculation discussed in the weeks leading up to the move. In addition to Nemec, the deal involves winger Maxim Tsyplakov being sent to Calgary, according to coverage that outlines the full player exchange. The deal leaves both teams positioned to reshape their prospect pipelines while reflecting their differing timelines.
