15th Overall, Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard

[Barry Amsterdam]

that’s an elite stick smash

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Nope, he underperformed at the division 1 WJC, so he's dead to me.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Probably his best game in the SHL today. Had two great set ups that should have turned into goals. Some good chances and his typical physical play and forecheck.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Eiserman would have scored 6 goals on that single play. BUST!

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

more of that

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

I knew Cole Eiserman and Senator, you're no Cole Eiserman...I mean Oliver Wahlstrom...I mean Kieffer Bellows...I mean Arthur Kaliyev... who were we talking about again?

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Scored on the PP tonight.

 

[Fyodorov]

Nothing?

 

[stillwater]

Nothing?

Finally, a salient point ... congrats.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Nothing?

Putting it nicely. Disastrous D+1.

That's beyond hyperbolic and you know it, especially considering you probably haven't watched a Skelleftea game once this year

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

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.

Oh crap my ignore list didn't transition over to the site overhaul.

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.

 

[Pavels Dog]

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.

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

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.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Wings were probably right that he should've been in AHL.

...and not made of glass.

Your comment inspired me to pull the trigger on my first ignore. Long overdue lol

You're on thin ice mister, don't get your hopes up

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

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.

We can always count on your balanced, nuanced analysis. Thanks so much!
