On the eve of the Islanders training camp deadline in 2015, Brock Nelson signed a three-year deal. Since then, the 25 year old center has scored at least 40 points in each of his three seasons, but has failed to grow and mature as a player.
Brock’s play can best be described as both inconsistent and stagnant. Every season from October through around mid-December, it seems that Nelson is red-hot and on pace for a 60-point season. Then, Nelson disappears for large stretches of time.
Standing at 6 feet, 3 inches and at just over 200 pounds, Brock possesses a perfect, puck-protecting frame capable of bruising anyone who would try to deter him from an offensive rush.
