i watched 9 mins of the 1st period.

The thing I noticed the most? Nelson is NOT a capable center! He's just simply not a guy that drives the offense.

Bellows has a cannon too. He got off a good hard accurate one toner before the goal. Having two guys that can absolutely rip it on the power play will keep the penalty killers honest.

Just saw the goal on Twitter. Same spot as his first. He pops in that slot and rips it. That’s his office. Kids going to make the team at this rate. Looks good without the puck too which is important

Imagine Bellows AND Wahlstrom..that's better than Lee and Eberle (potentially)

Nelson is best when he hovers around the periphery and snipes. Very limited player. Time to move on from him.

I've been saying for 5 years now Nelson should be playing LW. I actually can see his playing style meshing well with Barzal for instance
