BROCK NELSON - Center/Winger - 27 - $6MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2025-2026
LAST UPDATED 12/30/18
Since breaking into the NHL as a 22 year old, Brock Nelson has scored at least 20 goals every year until last season. Despite his large frame, Brock Nelson is not a physical player. He rarely hits and is incredibly weak in the corners and along the boards. His defense isn't good, and he's not an impressive skater. What Nelson does have, though, is a fantastic wrist shot, which is so good that it can decently compensate for his other shortcomings as a player. Nelson is a finisher, and for him to be best utilized, he should be played on the wing with a good puck distributor to create chances for Nelson to bury. As a pending free agent, Nelson has the opportunity to put himself in that sort of a situation, and if that happens, look out for Nelson to have a career year.
