GR could use a top line winger, and it'll shorten MBN's learning curve by a year to skip the SHL and play in GR,
Depends on what he needs to learn. I think he got that work ethic and grinding plays down, he's physical. So biggest would be to either adapt in AHL to time/space and play top six more.
I personally would like to see him back in the SHL. I think the time and space of the euro game will allow him to try some new things offensively that could help his long-term development. I have been really happy with him though in the preseason. If he has a really good season and a productive summer I could see him challenging for a lower-line roster spot next season.
Or like this, where staying in the SHL he get to maybe learn to become more offensively gifted technically and decision making.
Seems like going to the SHL just adds more time to his transition to the Wings and I'm not sure he needs that.
This is where I wonder also what is best for him. Whether he should skip SHL and be in AHL or take one year of SHL before going to US, but then maybe he could end up skipping AHL all together and go straight to NHL cause he is physically ready. Most likely option is doing as planned and a year of both, but if he impressed enough maybe straight to AHL.
Cause he already played World Championships and he did well there, so I think everyone knows that physically he got what it takes, so question becomes whether a year in SHL is a bit of a overripe for him. Idk, I don't think he needs to get rushed, but also not held back either.
