Danny Nelson's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 5th: "His motor and skating have been questions for some but when he keeps his feet moving he’s a lot to handle, he can stick with pucks, and he can take possession off the wall to the interior where he’s got an NHL shot."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 1st: "A raw prospect with good athletic tools and size, Nelson played one season at the NTDP. It took him some time to get up to speed, but he showed versatility throughout the season and good enough hands to make some plays."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 30th: "Nelson's toolkit is undeniably intriguing. He's 6-foot-3, can skate, has good puck skills and can shoot the puck well. His work ethic is good, he has some physicality even if for a big guy I wish he was even harder."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - May 5th: "Good size and moves well. Solid in the face-off circle and takes key draws in all three zones. Plays with reliable detail. Bodies up and is willing to block shots. Engaged and competes. Secondary scorer/middle of the lineup match up forward on projection."
