What are people's thoughts on D, Nolan Jackson?

I saw him play a couple games last season & thought he looked great - was very high on him coming into the season.

Early in the season I thought he was playing good "safe" hockey and didn't stand out in any way - typically a good sign for a young defensemen not making mistakes.

In the games I've seen recently I think he has struggled.

Playing D in the OHL/CHL isn’t easy for any 17/17 year old. I agree with your assessment this far but I will say he is making the necessary adjustments and I find he is less noticeable and more reliable in his own end. I’ve seen flashes of high offence ability were he can lead and join a rush. I will predict once his comfort level and confidence continues to grow you will say a very good two way DMan..

He had a couple of tough weeks but once he got back into the lineup from being a healthy scratch he’s been much better in all zones.
