Thimo Nickl

Underrated Austrian import who has continued to improve his entire rookie season, confident as he now has taken over running the Drummondville power play with Dawson Mercer’s departure. Tall with room for growth, he has good feet, showing mobility and agility. His shot continues to get better and on the defensive side he uses his reach, stick and feet to thwart opposing attackers. Not flashy just effective in his outlets and overall demeanor. Plenty of room the fill out his phyique with muscle. Mobile and poised when he has the puck, there is long term upside diplayed through his play.
