report from EP draft guide

Danny Nelson doesn't just pursue the puck carrier, he guides them into pressure and goes for the breakup without chance. He steps into opponents, eliminates off-puck threats, supports plays, and shows a knack for getting open inside space. Nelson's a play-driver deeper in the lineup. He looks for controlled exits and entries, both as a passer and carrier. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
