Andrew Nielsen made his professional debut last season. A third round pick from the 2015 draft, the defenceman spent this past season putting up excellent numbers with the Lethbridge Hurricanes - his 70 points in 71 games were fourth in team scoring, and third in scoring out of all defencemen in the WHL - before he joined the Toronto Marlies for five games at the end of the AHL season.
In short, he had a pretty good year.
As we ramp up for the new season, Nielsen is probably going to be one to watch.
