Nickl is a more confident defender in this latter half of the season. He uses his tools better (reach, size) and switches to his assignments in a more fluid way. Nicki's biggest potential is as a rush defender. He skates smoothly, closes his gap appropriately, and can match weaving forwards easily. His long stick also helps him direct traffic and break plays. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
