Agency
Premium
More than anything, he’s a distributor. Whether it’s breaking the puck out after a defensive zone retrieval or setting up his teammates from the point – Nilsson can dish the puck. He sees the ice well and has the touch as a passer to take advantage when opportunities present themselves. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
