Prospect Info: 15th Overall, Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard

Imo MBN has Timo Meier upside

 

[ShanahanMan]

No matter how you cut it, he's had a disappointing season, especially when you consider how amazing Eiserman is doing and we happily passed on him.

At this rate, MBN will have lower numbers in his D+1 than his D year.

7 points in 17 games ? I am not worried about him, still has NHL potential, just what kind of potential?

That's pretty good as an SHL rookie. If he finishes the year with 20+ points that's a good season for a kid.

For those saying Timo Meier potential, maybe. I wouldn't be shocked to see MBN 35 goals a season at least once in his career.

The Tom Wilson comparison is crazy though.

 

[RRhoads]

He has no problem scoring for the men's national team.

lol. I hadn't followed Eiserman's year at all. Boy was I shocked to see his stat line after reading he is doing "amazing". Looks like he's doing right around the worst of any of the comparable 1st round guys that went into the NCAA that I quickly thought of from the 2-3 drafts.

And what numbers are you even comparing for MBN year over year? He changed leagues

He played in a different league last year.

Yikes

I'm not even a draft guru type guy but I watched some of him in the summer after getting drafted plus the whole forum loving him and it was obvious with him walking into the SHL that skating/speed against better competition would be something he'd have to adjust to and answer. I think he's done pretty well. His camp was smart to get a deal done before being drafted, he's likely paid more in the SHL this year vs coming over and he's still able to work on his overall skating.

I don't think anyone should look at MBN and be disappointed. Just my opinion. Filip Zadina might have benefitted from a route like this vs what he went through.

He’s already making improvements to his skating too, so I think SHL is the perfect place for him.

At this rate, MBN will have lower numbers in his D+1 than his D year.

It’d be surprising. 6 points the last 9 and that’s with a garbage Skellefteå offense and not being utilized properly on the PP. He had a slow start but has been consistently good-to-great for a while now.

He played in a different league last year.

He also got 1 year older. Already 19 and physically he doesn't need to get stronger, so what is the reason. How can he improve, Skating?
