EDGE Analysis
Nielsen spent his past 10 seasons with the Islanders, amassing 20 goals and 32 assists during his most recent 2015-16 campaign with the team. The 32-year-old has been able to play at least 78 games over his last three seasons and will likely share comparable time at center with Henrik Zetterberg.
