Simon Nemec confidently said that he is the best defender in the year 2004, which is waiting for less than a month in draft for the NHL. The 18-year-old hockey player doesn’t exaggerate. For over a year, he has often appeared in the top five rankings, he was even somewhere in second place. Several experts agree that it is the best backbone.
They compare him the most with the Czech talent David Jiříček, who played regularly for Pilsen and has already won the national championships at the world championships. Shapely quarterback is a completely different type than Slovak.
He is a defender with a hard shot and especially with an aggressive game, who tries to hit the guard in the first place and overcome with physical strength. The German is more cunning. He works well with a hockey stick and uses more reason than strength in fights.
The prestigious The Hockey News also prepared a big comparison of the two top adepts for the best draft defender in the latest issue. The Canadian magazine has chosen several categories in which it analyzes the quality of defensive talents.
He writes in more detail about skating, physical condition, hockey reasoning, shooting, defensive and offensive play, passing, readiness for the NHL. In total, he shone on nine categories. According to them, Nemec is better in four, Jiříček in three and two in two according to the magazine.
He’s NOT MANY WEAKNESSES
They nicely describe the character of both defenders. “If you are looking for a fighting dog that will not release anything, you will find it at Jiříček. It is difficult to compete against similar players. He also manages powerlifting, but we don’t think that will be the case at the NHL level. If you are looking for a hockey player who is handy and always looks for the most sensible solution, a German player is for you. He doesn’t have many weaknesses, ” I write in The Hockey News, which addressed several scouts for ratings.
Jiříček’s advantages in disassembling the magazine are in the defensive game, physicality and readiness for the NHL, where he can jump, according to them, rather than our defender. The German again has the upper hand in skating, hockey reasoning, offensive play and passing.
“A German is a more dynamic and faster skater than Jiříček. The Slovak will be a better skater at the NHL level, but the difference between the two will gradually decrease, “ scouts say for the oldest Canadian hockey magazine.

Representatives of overseas clubs appreciate that Slovaks, unlike the Czechs, play simply. According to them, he takes too many risks to find a breakthrough. When he succeeds, it’s the moment of the match, but when he breaks the pass, bad situations arise. It is also interesting to compare the shots of both defenders. “Jiříček shoots with a team to score a goal. The German shoots to get the puck into the net. His shots run well to the attacker in front of the goal, “ I write in The Hockey News.
BETTER STRENGTH AND RELIABILITY
A creative native from Liptovský Mikuláš is expected to be better in the game as well. “The advantage of the German is not only that he can play the puck, but he does not have a problem with him to roll out of the band, and then play what Jiříček does not do very well. The German makes the players around him better. David wants to be the one who shoots and sets the pace in the offensive third, Simon always tries to find the best teammate, ” continue in the magazine.
According to the analysis, they are balanced in the defensive game. “Thanks to his figure and strength, Jiříček is more efficient in his defensive zone. The German is solid in position. You don’t go around him, you just have to go through him. It works well with a hockey stick and pushes you out of shooting angles. Jiříček sometimes neutralizes his opponent with hits, but other times he doesn’t hit him. It depends on whether you want a player to score, or a defender who is reliable. The scouts would like to see more physical games from the Germans, especially in front of their own goal, ” they supply in The Hockey News.
