Maybe Later: Nando Eggenberger

Big and strong Swiss wing who is a deceptively quick attacker who appears in close whenever he chooses to do so. Already stronger than most in his Swiss league, he creates chances along the wall and down low. He has a sniper’s hands from the perimeter and hockey sense to find the open areas to receive pucks. This big horse gallops in from nowhere and lets go with an offensive stampede. Prototypical power wing with size, shot, balance and nice North-South skating ability. Plays on special teams with success and has a great defensive presence at both ends. Wins puck battle on the wall and in the corners. Has a goal scorer’s touch and is very difficult to move off the puck. A solid penalty-killer who diagnoses well. Unselfish and makes positive things happen when he is carrying.  —Bill Placzek, draftsite.com

He’s got size (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) and the ability to play a two-way game. Eggenberger thinks the game well and can really shoot the puck.  –Sam Cosentino, Sportsnet
