The New Jersey Devils traded defenseman Šimon Nemec to the Calgary Flames for two conditional first-round picks in 2027 and 2028, along with a second-round pick in the upcoming NHL draft. The deal also includes defensive prospect Etienne Morin heading to the Devils and former Islander Maxim Tsyplakov to the Flames. Nemec, who had a career-high 26 points last season, was set to become an unrestricted free agent, prompting the Devils’ new GM Sunny Mehta to make this move. This trade adds valuable draft capital and opens up possibilities for the Devils during the draft.
