Preliminary Top 50 for the 2024 NHL Entry Draft

It's time for my first official ranking for the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. I say official because I release a preseason ranking in the summer (wh...

47. William Nicholl - Center/Wing - London Knights
The classic London Knights slow play kind of guy. Nicholl is being used in a variety of different situations because he's playing hard, but a lack of consistent ice time is perhaps masking the kind of upside he might possess. OHL rookie, so we don't have a ton to base it on either. Curious to see how he looks down the stretch.

Another London Knight who got buried behind older players. He will have a bigger role this year. Scouts are surprised he fell this late

Decent pick.

6 goals as an 18 year old. One of the few minus players on the whole Knights team. Rick does know there are leagues in NA beside the OHL right?

Might have to tune into a couple knights games next year

 

[Shizuka]

Maybe hoping this kid takes on a bigger role with London next season? Two Knights as someone else pointed out, they surely tapped the brains of the Hunter brothers in that organization I'd imagine.

Calling it now, this is the steal of our draft.

If I had a Nicholl for every time I have heard this

Looks decently skilled. Wish we had more video.

Yup I'm hoping there's more to see offensively from this guy once the older players are gone and he gets more of the top minutes. Like this pick!

I'm afraid he Will Nicholl-and-dime the Oilers in contract negotiations.






I'll see myself out now.

He was on the 4th line. No PK or PP time. He will have a bigger role this season

He will nurse the Oilers into bankruptsy.

Reminds me of Cliff Pu who was a similar skilled, slight young player on a stacked Memorial Cup level London Knights team. Albeit a higher ranked prospect. Look to have solid upside as a young depth piece on a stacked team. But challenged to take a next step at pro level competition.

London's a hockey factory. Decent late round swing. Long, long road to pro.
