#22 Nick Schmaltz @thisisnick_09
Natural goal-scorer who is equally adept at passing & creating chances all over ice.

2014 #NHLDraft eligible and UND commit Nick Schmaltz finished with 12 points in four games to lead Team USA at the World Junior A Challenge.

Just talked to a scout who told me Green Bay's Nick Schmaltz "might be the most skilled player in this draft." NoDak commit.

Quotable

    • Craig Button, TSN Director of Scouting, at TSN.ca, “Nick has elite skill. His skating is excellent and it appears as if he’s gliding past opponents. Exceptional agility and he’s capable of beating opponents quickly in tight areas. Excellent puck skills and he can make plays that create outstanding offensive opportunities. Good shot and combined with his playmaking, keeps defenders off balance. Very smart and poised and can hold puck to allow plays to develop. Top line type.”

From the THW War Room

  • Eldon MacDonald, THW: A few words on Nick Schmaltz:
    • Mr. Playmaker – What separates Nick from his peers is his special hands and vision which allows him to make plays at high speed or in tight. He has the ability to set up his linemates when no options are apparent.
    • Big game hunter – Nick seems to perform his best in big games or in international situations where the spotlight is on him.
    • Genes – His brother, Jordan Schmaltz, was drafted 25th by St.Louis in 2012 – who will get bragging rights in the Schmaltz family?
    • Draft placement – Mid twenties on most lists. May need to turn it on to go higher as his play at the club level, while good, has not quite matched his exceptional play in international situations.
