From: Thousand Oaks, CA

Weight: 210
Shoots: Right
Drafted: 2008 draft 3rd rnd 91st overall by Detroit (NHL)
Acquired: Signed 2-year contract with Detroit (NHL) 7/2/12
Personal:
Plus: Good Size and strength... Moves the puck up ice well... Plays a physical, punishing game... Good heavy shot...
Minus: Offensive game has regressed... Off-ice distractions have cast a cloud...
Organizational Comments: "He has good size, a big, strong guy, physical, He can shoot the puck. He's a strong skater." Jim Nill - Wings Assistant General Manager
What GRC says: Fall 2012: A big stay at home defenseman with a cannon of a point shot, Nicastro is looking for a fresh start as a pro after a trying college career marred by an off-ice incident. He won't provide much offense but can move the puck out of harms way and makes it tough for opposing forwards in his own end.
