"Following a season that saw him produce 23 points in 67 games as a 17-year-old, it became apparent that, like most middle-round picks, Nansi was a bit of a project pick. His offensive totals weren't anything crazy and his skating had room for improvement, but his motor and playmaking skills made him stand out to Leafs brass. In addition to that, Nansi only turned 18 on September 10th, meaning that he was born one week shy of not being eligible for the draft until 2026"
"It's still early in the season, but so far, we're seeing exactly why the Leafs' scouting staff liked him. Through 17 games, Nansi has already matched his point total from last season, with six goals and 17 assists for 23 points in those games. The fact that he's producing at a rate of an assist per game shows that there is in fact something to his playmaking game that's worth keeping an eye on,"
Nansi is a 6-foot-4 centre from the OHL's Owen Sound Attack who can also play wing. He was selected in the fifth round of the 2025 NHL Draft and was one of the youngest players in the class, turning 18 on September 10. As a 17-year-old he recorded 23 points in 67 games, showing a projectable profile with uneven skating but a strong motor and playmaking instincts. Through 17 games this season he has matched that 23-point total with six goals and 17 assists. The Attack have improved to third place, and the team’s better play appears to be aiding his development. Continued production would strengthen his prospect standing.
