I'd like to point out about several things:

  • The coverage is uneven. This is a glaring one especially between the Los Angeles Kings years and the later parts of Nicholls’s career. So to me this does not yet feel like a balanced biography of Nicholls’s full playing career. I'd suggest developing more about his career post LA Kings (New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers and later career).
  • The LA Kings section feels like it's a sequence of stats achievements and milestones without stopping properly to tell readers what do those mean in the larger context of Nicholl's career. Some stops don't feel enough (at least to me) like "It was also the fourth-longest scoring streak in NHL history at the time" or "He became the first player besides Marcel Dionne to lead the team in scoring in over a decade", which still carries the list-like feel and tone.
  • Still related to the second point, this issue doesn't just appear at the LA Kings section but other sections as well, but the LA Kings is the most visible because it is the largest one.
  • The lead could be expanded more but that should be the last thing you work on because the body needs to be finished first.

That's all I could think of right now. So I'd suggest treating all sections equally, in prose and weight, and rewriting some sections so they don't just feel list-like, but also explains within the larger context about what those achievements and milestones mean.
