Eric Nilson

June 2025 – He’s a highly intelligent player who logged major minutes at even strength while being a fixture on the top power-play unit and a trustworthy penalty killer. Nilson plays well off his teammates and complements more talented players nicely. Although not much of a goal scorer, he wins puck battles and is a competent playmaker at the junior level. Nilson doesn’t have many glaring weaknesses, but he also lacks high-end traits. – Jordan Harris (from the 2025 Fantasy Prospects Report)
