Nelson signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Seattle on Thursday.
Scouting Report
A smallish, right-shooting defenseman, he is an outstanding skater both going forward and backward. He can carry the puck out of his zone and lead rushes, and his ability to close gaps quickly allows him to break up plays and make a quick transition to offense. He hits hard for his size but needs to get much stronger for the NHL.
Long Range Potential: Mobile defenseman with some upside.
