That looks like they didn't give him PP minutes last season.
Nansi was in the bottom 6 (usually 4th line) last season.
This year he's playing top-6 deployment on the wing.
That's awesome. I'm hoping that they have hit on some diamonds in the rough in the last couple of drafts. It would be great if Danford ended up channeling his inner Barret Jackman. Just need a couple of hits. This draft is the one that really crippled the prospect pool. Which is funny because they had a lot of picks:
Nobody from that draft has played an NHL game, and unfortunately Rodion Amirov passed away. This is the worst draft in the Leafs history. There are a couple of others that come close, like the 1999 draft and the 2004, but usually someone the Leafs draft plays a couple of games in the NHL. I still hold out hope that Villeneuve makes the jump at some point.

He had some good moments and def some rough ones too, pretty much like all of the kids. Some people are saying McKenna won't be #1 now. I remember people were ripping Cowan and Minten as well. I try not to get to hyped or down on any of them based on this short tourney. We'll see what happens with him and hopefully we'll see him in the line up one day.
I was a Sam O'Reilly (picked 1 spot later) guy at the draft and he seemed to have a much better showing, although I'm not entirely sure I agree with him being named one of the top 3 players on the team. It's also a little tough to see Igor Chernyshov (picked 2 spots later) lighting it up in his very early NHL career: 8 points in 8 games with San Jose. Not sure he was really on very many people's radars at the time though.
