When it comes to being an all-around two-way centre, Nilson has many of the required boxes checked. He combines his speed and quickness with a very commendable motor and good off-puck read. He supports his defencemen down low, sticks to his assignments, and suffocates attackers on the backcheck. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
