71% Informative

There is something imposing about Brock Nelson the first time you meet him, not just the size of his mitts, the width of his shoulders, the sculpted body, and the almost pointed square jaw.

He is taller than Auston Matthews , wider than Ryan Reaves , same speed as his former teammate John Tavares , his on-ice hands more adept than that of Max Domi .

The Maple Leafs need what Nelson is, a second or third line centre in whatever playoff format for their roster they come up with.

The best bets for the Leafs are Nelson and Gourde , probably followed by Laughton , Wennberg or Strome .

Strome plays high in the Anaheim lineup but only has 19 points.

He's from Mississauga and might welcome a chance to play at home late in his career.
