Prospect Info: 15th Overall, Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard

[Snuggs]

Why is his name spelled wrong? It's supposed to be Nygård, not Nygaard.

We use American English; we don't accept that stupid thing above that A. If you want an extra long A sound in your name, we just add another A. Welcome to the great melting pot! Or... at least we use to be, before everyone got offended about anything.

And that norwegian Å is spelled as O.

He is "Nygord". not nygaard.

Like Raymond is raymond. Not Raymaand.

***

And for extra:

"Ny" means "new" and "gård" means a "farm".

"Brandsegg does not really mean anything as a word, but I could think it's "brann", like "burned" and "egg" is not chicken's egg, it also means a "blade"

"Burned blade", some kind of old blacksmith "how viking sword were made" could be that "Brandsegg".

 

[Snuggs]

Well now I'm really lost, So... is it said like Ny-Gourd and not like Ny-Guard? I've legit thought it's Ny-Guard(Nygaard) since draft night. Good to know going forward though.

And that norwegian Å is spelled as O.

We're getting off on a rough start.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Taxi?

He needs to rock a Mohawk.

Bit of a spicy take coming here, but I bet if Tij wasn’t in this draft we’d see some MBN Jarome Iginla comparisons thrown out there. 6’1 power forward with a strong shot. Not saying he’ll become Iggy but I’m surprised I didn’t hear Craig Button throw in a “I see a little Jarome Iginla in him. You know I drafted Jarome…”

I wonder why so soon? Is he coming here sooner than we thought?

Generally you see top picks being locked up fairly quickly. I'm sure he'll be at training camp and then it's up to him.

Can his nickname be blade instead of taxi?

 

[Detroit Knights]

ASP signed and is still going back to SHL.

I do find it interesting that he is signed sooner in his draft year while i thought ASP was signed a lot later than this last year. maybe his prospects camp was much much better if you were there

of course, we only saw the tourny and not all the other stuff (right?)

 

[Webster]

Signing bonus...$100k in his pockets. I can see the smile...

 

[GoBoltz56]

It has something to do with his entry level deal sliding multiple years.

ASP was second signing, Danielson was first

We signed all our top picks after drafting them.

MBN and Pelikka can be on loan to Skelleftea for one season each. It’ll be a good year for those guys.

 

[Henkka]

Only meningful thing, is that kid will get the ELC signing bonus instantly.

It's kind of nice boost for the player (he'll get money from Detroit and from his SHL team), and it will lower his caphit after the ELC slide years, because the signing bonus money is count away from the real contract years.

 

[SCD]

In stead of putting these hyphenated names from elbow to elbow on jerseys, the NHL should just abbreviate the name to initials.....MBN.....ASP.

If you need a scorecard to follow the game, probably should not be watching anyway.

Raymond is also not Raymånd.

You give a correct pronounciation, but aa is correct spelling for å in same way ae is a correct spelling for ä - see Aalborg/Ålborg

Å = aa
Ø = oe
Æ = ae

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

sounded like lidstrom pronounced it “Knee-Guard” is that accurate

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Raymaand

 

[DoMakc]

sounded like lindstrom pronounced it “Knee-Guard” is that accurate

Gustav?

 

[izlez]

Someone posted a really in depth explanation of the pronunciation of his name a month or two before the draft. It sure sounded like he knew what he was talking about at the time.

Not sure what thread it was in and I haven't been able to find it

 

[Tatar Shots]

sounded like lindstrom pronounced it “Knee-Guard” is that accurate

He pronounces it at the very end of this video. Knee-gore

 

[Snuggs]

Hmmm... I'm saying Nygaard like Bill Nye instead of using Knee, like Nylander. Gets too close sounding to another word.

Mispronouncing a name because it kinda sounds similar to a derogatory term is one way to live. You should here how they say the word black in italian

Or Spanish if you really want to be offended

For an English speaker "bron(d)ze egg new gourd" is pretty close...
