Nelson is an hyper-active, physical, puck-moving defence- man, the kind we usually like at Eliteprospects. His gap is tight off the rush; he literally kills them with some huge hits sometimes. I like his four-way mobility to match attackers as they skate through the neutral-zone and his absolute de- sire to wall off access to his own end, even if, for that, he has to come to a stop at the blue-line and literally force the opposition to dump the puck in. He puts his body on the line defensively and his motor is non-stop. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
