[JMcLeaf]

We no longer own his rights

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

ya, we released him

 

[Leafidelity]

Not Leafs property

 

[Kelly]

I still think the leafs made the right choice not signing him. Prototypical dime-a-dozen player.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

i'm waiting for the anti burke crowd to come in here and claim how Nicholls is going to be a great top 6 winger and how we are going to miss him dearly

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

He would have been drafted or signed had we made a mistake. He has talent, just doesnt have enough foot speed. Seems like a poor mans Deschampes.

 

[therealkoho]

We no longer own his rights

another good reason to fire Burke, please pass this along to the anti-Burkers

 

[Borschevsky]

He's also 20 years old

 

[pooleboy]

was waiting for this thread haha, a lot of people had high hopes for him, but i guess the leafs brass didn't like what they saw.

 

[Antropovsky]

5th year whl player.

 

[SprDaVE]

Didomenico style prospect.

Great junior player but can't translate to the pro's because of his lack of skating and other very average/sub-par aspect of his game.

It was a good value pick the Leafs made though for a 7th rounder, he just never improved in the more important aspects of his game.

He could be a decent AHLer though. I'll eat my shorts if he becomes anything more than that. I hope he proves me wrong... seriously.

Useless pro hockey player. Don't care.
