The nephew of former NHLer Chad Allan, Prince Albert defenceman Nolan Allan is carving his own path to the NHL. Drafted in the first round, third overall of the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft, Allan has not disappointed. Known for his defensive game, the offensive numbers are pedestrian though. In 16 games with Prince Albert this season Allan scored a goal and an assist for two points. He also picked up two goals and three assists for five points in five games while on a short loan with the La Ronge Ice Wolves in the SJHL. Allan really made his presence felt in a checking role for Team Canada at the IIHF Under-18 World Championships. While he scored just a goal and an assist, he was a big part of the Canadian Team that won Gold in Texas.

In 2019-20 Allan scored two goals and eight points in 56 games with Prince Albert. He was also selected to play for Team Canada Red at the Under-17 World Hockey Challenge. Allan picked up one assist in five tournament games. Allan got in seven games with Prince Albert as an underage in 2018-19. He picked up one assist.

[Blackhawkswincup]

What a terrible pick

We passed on so much talent

 

[Kevin Musto]

Bust.

Stan is intentionally sabotaging us.

 

[featherhawk]

Rocky needs to fire Stan ASAP
has a GM ever been fired during a draft?

 

[hawksrule]

Won’t pretend I know anything about him, but consensus was that he would have likely been available for either of our second round picks.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Welcome Nolan

 

[Cold Steel on Ice]

Chibrikov,Morrow,Svozil,Knies wow Stan has had a brutal day

 

[ndgt10]

Lets complain more about giving up those 1sts for Jones. I mean, we make such great selections with those picks.

 

[d rake]

Am I the only who doesn't mind tbe pick? Haha. I thought he was a pretty good and steady presence in the PA games I've watched in the past two years.

 

[CallMeShaft]

f*** off Stanley, just f*** off.

 

[clydesdale line]

Chibrikov meets Allan.

 

[ClydeLee]

They're always looking for Hjalmarssons but ignoring that even Hjalmarsson was a capable puck mover and point getter in his young Swedish career.

That's my main Kelley focus of what they've looked for in defensive d

It’s a fair point.

We traded one of them away for Seth.

 

[Cold Steel on Ice]

Upside is what?3rd pairing?

 

[Toews2Bickell]

 

[HockeySauce]

The “reach” aspect doesn’t really apply with this pick. He probably wasn’t going to be there with their 60-something pick, so get your guy. Just wish their guy brought something to the table. They’re literally trying to give away Zadorov, who Allan sounds quite similar to.

 

[thesaadfather]

I wonder what we’ll trade him for in 3 years?

Yeah you draft these types of players in the later rounds.

Allan wasn't even the best shutdown defender available. Kirsanov is leagues better.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Bowman has somehow managed to outdo himself and took more L's today than he did in June 23rd 2017

 

[Kevin Musto]

I wonder what we’ll trade him for in 3 years?

future considerations

 

[Artorius Horus T]

What a - insert a vomit emoji - pick....

Please, someone - insert appropriate mob term - Bowman

 

[Toews2Bickell]

I wonder what we’ll trade him for in 3 years?

throw in when they trade debrincat to columbus for boqvist back

 

[needle]

The Blackhawks didn't pick a midget for once.

Either way, Stan Bowman has a low IQ. Simple Stan.
