If Danny Nelson ends up making it to the NHL, expect a familiar refrain when Islanders games are broadcast nationally.
If Danny Nelson ends up making it to the NHL, expect a familiar refrain when Islanders games are broadcast nationally: “Nelson, who played defenseman in high school …”, said in his chat with reporters in Nashville on Thursday that his stint as a defenseman was only for a year and out of necessity for his team. He’s played forward all his life, and plans to do so in college at Notre Dame and, one day, for the Islanders.
Danny Nelson’s physical attributes were evident at the NHL combine, though he has room to grow in his playmaking sense.It’s not yet clear whether Nelson, who stands 6-foot-3 at 203 pounds, will end up playing down the middle or on the wing in college. The two-way ability and stature, though, suggest he should be a center.
The question is whether his skating and hockey sense will improve to the point of being an NHL player. As with any 17-year-old draftee, Nelson also will need to get stronger and continue developing his entire game once he gets to college.
