Catching The Torch: Nikolas Koberstein in the midst of the best season of his career

Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of Habs prospects playing at the junior (OHL, WHL), collegiate (USHL, NCAA), and professional (ECHL) level.

Nikolas Koberstein is not a name you often hear. He's in the depth of the Habs prospect pool and has been playing all the way in Alaska. His often limited offensive production and conservative style of play also tends to not make the highlight reels.

Even if good puck-handling were part of his skill set in the USHL, he wasn't picked with great offensive upside in mind.
