In a shocking move, the New Jersey Devils have traded Restricted Free Agent (RFA) defenseman Šimon Nemec to the Calgary Flames, according to sources. The 20-year-old Slovakian defenseman was a highly touted prospect in the Devils' organization and was expected to be a key contributor to their blue line in the near future. With Nemec's departure, the Devils will be looking to fill the void left by his departure, potentially setting the stage for a busy offseason. The trade, which has yet to be officially confirmed by the teams, is the latest development in a busy NHL offseason.
