As an offensive creator, Nykyri relies a lot on his shot and has a particular preference for the old-timey slap shot – something you don’t see all that often anymore. He can get looks from high-value locations through joining rushes as a trailer or activating down the boards. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
