30. San Jose (via Edmonton): Olivers Murnieks, C, Sioux City (USHL)
Murnieks had a good first year in North America. He won’t land on many highlight reels, but he’s a hardworking, detailed center who contributes at both ends of the ice. He has good pace in his game, strong puck skills and hockey sense and engages physically.
31. Carolina: Adam Nemec, LW, Nitra (Slovakia)
Nemec, the younger brother of New Jersey’s Simon Nemec, played decently against men this year in Slovakia and was an important part of Slovakia’s U18 team. He’s a forward who does a lot well, even if he’s not overly flashy. Nemec is quite skilled, is a good skater and competes hard. He could be a forward who lines up on both special teams.
