Nemec responded, "It's hard to say, it's still too early to request a trade. If this situation continues, it will need to be addressed, but for now, this is where things stand." The Slovak defenseman scored five points for the Utica Comets on Wednesday night as he continues to develop in the AHL.

New Jersey Devils top prospect, Simon Nemec, made some comments earlier this week when discussing his future with the Devils and his current status in the AHL (as per Tomáš Prokop of Dennik Sports).

There has been confirmation from Jimmy Murphy at RG.org that the New Jersey Devils are beginning discussions to extend former Canadiens defender, Johnathan Kovacevic.
