Nicholas Sima

Sima plays a give-and-go style with the occasional crossover rush that gets the defender moving in the wrong direction. He attacks the inside, drops pucks back into space, rushes the net to create space behind him, and sets picks. He slips away from defenders to get open in the slot. But it's his defence that might be the most consistent part of his game. He deters shots with pressure, pushes attacks wide on the backcheck, and supports down low. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
