no, some of them are complaining about kasper shooting lowRaymond and Seider got signed so now the management whiners have moved on to complaining about MBN's potential league assignment lmao.
LOL, I never complained about the RFA contract negotiations this summer, in fact I was setting up for the eventual management whining that's gonna happen when Kasper gets sent down.no, some of them are complaining about kasper shooting low
We have too many kids in GR already. If Kasper and Mazur gone then MBN should play in GR. They should have some veterans.
Kasper, Mazur, Lombardi, Danielson, Finnie, Hanas, Ruchlovsky, Doucet and Becher I hope
Where do you put Becher?
Of course it's better if he gets another year in Sweden. There are extremely few European players that benefit from playing NHL/AHL hockey right after the draft.I think he’s a pretty smart, versatile player who you could plug in play in the SHL or AHL and he’d do alright. Off the ice, I wonder if he’d be best served having another year in Sweden before uprooting to NA.

I do wonder how NHL teams approach this topic, do they follow some game book? I'm guessing that it's highly dependent on the individual and it's always a judgement call where the prospect should play.
Would be fun though if they have a spreadsheet where a player is most likely to best develop certain skills. Like AHL for improving your bus riding ability. Rögle to improve that dog in you, and so on.

From what I know, he would be the first player going from Swedish tier 2 hockey to the NHL in his draft year. Where he also didn't have 0.5 PPG. I would be absolutely SHOCKED if anyone thought he's NHL ready.And you normally don't see a kid they just drafted in the big club's training camp either. Why? Because they believe MBN is more mature than a typical 18 yr old, both when it comes to his game and his personality.
A year in Sweden could be a waste of time if he's close to NHL ready, then it's better to stay in the minors and get to know his future linemates.
So I'd say we'll see him play in the AHL, then he'll be available. But I think it also depends on where he wants to play.
There are countless of examples of players that has gone from the SHL to the NHL without having to stopover in the AHL. Especially forwards. Especially if they've taken 1-2 years extra in the SHL. I mean, Elias Pettersson and Peter Forsberg are just two prime examples of that. I'm also of the belief that it's better for a young player to be coached and developed in a language he can fully understand in a pro environment to be better prepared for the NHL.There is plenty of good things to learn in the AHL compared to SHL. More physical game, tighter quarters to work with, also more NA style of game where they can work on stuff. If he isn't getting prime minutes in Sweden I would much rather he be in GR if he is ready to come over as he seems to be.
Most Swedes I’ve met speak English better than North Americans.From what I know, he would be the first player going from Swedish tier 2 hockey to the NHL in his draft year. Where he also didn't have 0.5 PPG. I would be absolutely SHOCKED if anyone thought he's NHL ready.
