July 2025 – Nicholl took a huge step forward in 2024-2025, helping the London Knights make their way toward a Memorial Cup Championship. Nicholl scored 21 goals and added 36 assists in 66 games. The goals came out of the blue, after scoring just six in 65 games the year before. There’s a mix bag of numbers behind the goal scoring. He fired 114 shots on net versus the year prior, but carried an 18% shooting percentage in 2024-2025 compared to 13% the year before.
The stats are interesting, but until Nicholl proves his mettle against larger, more tenured and skilled opponents at the professional level, it’s hard to feel certain of his fantasy value. That he was able to establish himself as a threat on a strong team with minimal powerplay opportunity makes the former seventh-round pick a fun player to root for. Nicholl projects as more of a bottom-six, two-way physical type, but his knack for finding the net will boost his notoriety and rostered percentage in your leagues. Nicholl is worth a stash in a deeper league so you can hold him as he moves up the ranks. Alex Wyatt
June 2024 – The Edmonton Oilers drafted Nicholl in the seventh round (196th overall ) in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. Mark Henry
