Maple Leafs prospect Harry Nansi ties 2024-25 point total in 50 fewer games

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a bit of a thin draft class in 2025, but they might have found a diamond in the rough in forward Harry Nansi.

Nansi is a 6-foot-4 centre out of the OHL’s Owen Sound Attack who can play wing as well, and he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2025 NHL Draft. 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 and thus making him one of the youngest players in the draft class.

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, and when you consider that the Attack have gone from being one of the worst teams in the league to currently sitting third place in the OHL with a record of 12-5-0, you can see that simply playing on a competitive team is doing wonders for his game.
