The New Jersey Devils pull off a bold trade, sending second-overall pick Simon Nemec to Calgary for two first-round picks, a second-rounder, and a top defensive prospect — a move that clears the path for Nemec to thrive in a role he couldn’t get in Jersey.

He’s excited for his fresh start and the Flames’ system, while the Devils open doors for other young defensemen.
