Meh, admittedly this was not a good year for MBN, but I don’t view development as linear. Someone can have a bad year but still learn a lot in development from that. Number 1 thing is that he needs to get away from skelleftea ASAP and get to Grand Rapids.
Yeah don't let MBN fade away on Skellefteå's 4th line. The Ducks just pulled their prospect Stian Solberg out of the SHL, who was also a 1st round pick last year. He's now heading for the AHL. Wings should do the same, MBN is built for NA hockey.
 
It was a tough season for him. No problems with saying that. Doesn't mean it was bad for his development. I'm curious to see if he can break through a bit in the playoffs when the intensity ramps up.

The SHL just isn't right for him. They didn't really know how to use him, but I think the AHL will suit him very well. He's sort of Carter Mazur if he were bigger, faster, and more aggressive.
Exactly, even Swedish reporters criticized Skellefteå for not playing him in positions where we know he's good. Coach just puts him on the 4th line, playing him 11 mins a game and tells him to throw his weight around. MBN should be a top 6 player, he has some puck skills and a great shot.
 
Not saying this guy will be good or not but we need to trade some of these prospects while they have value. Should have traded Ras and Veleno 2-3 years ago before everyone knew they were garbage. Same with Zadina. Should have traded him before his extension.
