Nicklaus Perbix is a prospect that I’ve liked since the Tampa Bay Lightning drafted him 169th overall in the sixth round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. Perbix’s birthdate makes him one of the younger players in his draft class and he did not get drafted in his first year of eligibility after his junior year of high school. Perbix’s father Jay, played some college hockey, and he also has a younger brother Jack, that was a 4th round pick by the Anaheim Ducks in 2018 who is now playing at the University of Minnesota.
