[edit] Biography
Nolan Pratt was selected in the 5th round, 115th overall, in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the Hartford Whalers.
Pratt's current scouting report from the TSN website: Is at his best when taking the body consistently and keeping his game simple. Can play on either side of the ice. Has leadership qualities.
On June 24, 2000, he was traded along with a 2000 1st round pick (Vaclav Nedorost), a 2000 2nd round pick (Jared Aulin), and Philadelphia's 2nd round pick in 2000 (Argis Saviels) to Colorado for Sandis Ozolinsh and a second round pick (Tomas Kurka).
On June 24, 2001, he was again traded, this time to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2001 NHL Entry Draft 6th round pick (Scott Horvath).
He was signed by the Buffalo Sabres on November 1, 2007. With the Sabres, Pratt is most often paired with Dmitri Kalinin.
Most recently, since the departure of the Sabres star defenseman, Brian Campbell, Pratt has had a more proactive role on the Sabres and is now being paired with Nathan Paetsch.
He has won 2 Stanley Cups in 2001 with Colorado and 2004 with Tampa Bay.
