Your assessment of Nemisz is pretty accurate. It's pretty disappointing that he can't do as well in the NHL as he does in the AHL. It is worrisome that he risks being surpassed by other prospects, but I think a full offseason of committing to his foot speed and aggressiveness would put him back at the top of the prospect list. The think with Nemisz is that he's too even-tempered to show meanness on the ice, but it is possible for him to play aggressive while not being mean. That would be very nice to see.
Two quick questions, Freeway:
1. If the Flames still had Holland, where would you place him on your list?
2. Why did you choose to leave Ramo off the list? Is it because he turns 26 on July 1st?

To be fair, Brent was asked about Nemo this morning, and he was very high on how he's fit into his role since his recall.
As for Holland, I'd place him roughly where Ferland is. I've seen a lot more of Ferland than Holland, but I'd say Holland has more "skill" but Ferland plays a more all-around game.
Ramo's off because he's 25+. It's a helpful barrier to have, since I have no idea how to rate KHL goalies.
