Prospect Info: 15th Overall, Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard

[ShanahanMan]

I think if he doesn’t make the team, he should report to AHL. Get him used to the smaller ice now.

His game should have no problem transitioning to smaller ice.

They said the same thing about Kasper

 

[GoBoltz56]

It looked like it was Zucc who set him up on that first goal. Now we know what he can do with a premier setup man.

Yeah they gelled at the worlds as well.

 

[Henkka]

I genuinely cannot believe he's only 18 years old.

Don't worry, he is very soon 19.

 

[Henkka]

what do you think ceiling even is? 5 years is already way more than what most people mean when they use that term

Quite sure Yzerman will put him to farm for 3 years, during ELC, and then we will have to wait for end of september him to sign the 2nd contract.

This just in: breaking your kneecap does indeed impact the timeline of NHL development.

If Kasper still looks inconsistent this year, then I'll officially be above zero on the Concern-o-Meter.

Kasper was injured , I believe

 

[The Zermanator]

They said the same thing about Kasper

And Kasper started slow when he was recovering from an impactful injury and surgery, found his stride halfway through the season, and still finished with 0.5ppg. He fought through a lot of adversity. Recovery fro injury, new team, smaller ice surface and different style of play, living in a new culture, etc. If he struggles in his 2nd season, then there'll be cause for concern. But I have a feeling he's tuned in and won't be looking back.

They said the same thing about Kasper

And once he fully recovered his injury he was often a top 3 player on the ice as a 20 year old in his first year in NA. Not bad!

 

[SirloinUB]

I loved Kasper's season. Im really excited to see what he does this season.

Looks like MBN had a bad day, twice in the penalty box today was his contribution. We'll see how he does in Detroit's camp, but I don't think they'll rush him to the NHL. Let him play at least this season in the SHL.

I only caught the first period of this match. So far the game was pretty sloppy from both teams. MBN had some solid defensive plays and was his line’s best option when getting pucks out of their zone. His line didn’t generate much offensively, spending a lot of time hemmed into their zone.

He was solid. Norway’s just not that talented of a team. And Solberg who is overall a nice prospect had a brutal game.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Boy, not a good game. Needed this though to get expectations back in line.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Bustgard.

Give Denmark some credit. They came in and made Norway play down to their skill level. Denmark did a good job of forcing Norway to play ugly and did a good job to break up passing plays. Norway just seemed unable to adjust.

Denmark and Norway are ranked 11 and 12 by the IIHF. The two teams also played each other at the Worlds back in May, then Norway won.

Norway's loss today was more a result of some poor individual efforts, including MBN and Solberg. But they're only 18 years old, they'll be fine. Also the Danish goalie was great, Hurricanes' Andersen.

Did you actually watch the game? Sounds like you were forming your opinion off a boxscore.
It's super, super funny how there's finally a game where MBN doesn't score and the negative comments come pouring out lol.

Hey guys,

Not sure if you saw a post I made over on the Prospects board here - but I put together a video on Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and came away very pleasantly surprised (I'm mostly a USHL guy, so he's out of my normal sight line). I didn't want to step all over the live viewing stuff that was going on, but if you're interested, here it is...
