Slafkovský is the number one pick in the NHL draft, the German was chosen second

New Jersey general manager Tom Fitzgerald explained that his position played a role in selecting Šimon Nemec from second. “We needed a defender who is right-handed. That is why we are excited to have Šimon. We noticed him for a long time, mainly thanks to his performances in the national team. He will get a chance to fight for the first team already this season. If he doesn’t make it, he would go to the AHL,” Fitzgerald told ESPN.
