Hi all! Normally I just read here but I have a question for those more knowledgeable than myself

I don’t have a lot of viewings of MBN but I’m wondering if anyone else sees some Claude Lemieux in him?

Lemieux wasn’t flashy but he was physical, had a great shot, was a playoff warrior and Mr clutch. If I’m right, and I know it’s a long shot with my limited views, he would be great addition to any team and I think this also puts him firmly in the top 10.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond and I’m looking forward to some more educated views

I wonder who his lines mates gonna be in SAIK. Could see him mash well with the Johnsson brothers. Could also work with Hugg - Lindberg/Pär Lindholm - Nygard

I don't know if Brandsegg-Nygard will be the goal scorer that Lemieux was. In the amazingly thorough mock draft by @newdimension I stated I think MBN is likely to have an early career similar to Lehkonen. His defensive play will get him into the NHL, then at some point opportunities to play with skilled players will turn him into a 20g/35a type. Like you state a key contributor in the playoffs.

Maybe with a more physical game than Lehkonen?

He could crack the top 10, but he's definitely going in the top 15.

Montreal would be a fit for him, they like that profile a lot and if Celebrini, Demidov, Catton and Lindstrom aren't available to them.. I can see them liking MBN more than Eiserman, for example, because he may score less goals than Eiserman but the other elements of his game provide value in a play-off environment and they are trying to build a playoff team, not a team that can score in the regular season only.

Are you suggesting we may take him at 5?
 
A more physical Lehkonen is definitely worth a top 12 pick. Lehky has averaged 63 Pts / 82 in 2.5 seasons after escaping Montreal while logging borderline 1st line minutes and heavy PK usage…and has been even better in the playoffs, bumping up his scoring rate and especially goal scoring another notch from there.

If you go to every team’s sub-forum on HFB, of teams picking in that 10-20 range, literally every fanbase that may want a forward has a hard-on for MBN - and with that kind of projection, it’s easy to see why. That kind of player can glue together a top six for any roster construct you can build.

Agreed. Is he ready for NHL duties?

His next step with Swedish champs SAIK is likely the correct one. It wouldn’t be the craziest thing if he made a team right out of camp - he’s one of the older guys in the class and plenty experienced against men - but I would think barring exceptional pre-season, a full season of SHL and CHL is ideal.

Anyone care to translate? Sounds like he'd be happy going to Chicago, Calgary, Detroit, favorite team is Washington/player is Ovechkin, likes Original 6 teams, and has spoken to Chicago... But what else did he say?

Short Tiktok interview with MBN

Just that it was probably an advantage draft-wise to get to play, and show well, at the WC.

The O6-bit was answering a question, "who would you like to be drafted by?" "It would be nice to be drafted by an O6-team, so maybe Chicago, which I have talked with a lot.

The Chicago, Detroit, Calgary-bit was answering a question about who he had talked the most with.

A number of public drafts and lists have him around the 15-17 range. He seems like a very well rounded prospect who will play a very NHL style of game. He’d be an excellent fit for a number of teams in thr first 7-15 picks
 
Predictable, but I like this value a lot more than Kasper or Danielson, who are somewhat similar players. I think Brandsegg-Nygard might even be a first line player (contrary the general opinion) and he's great value at #15.

I'm pretty good with this pick. Not the high high end offense a lot of wings fans wanted to add. But picturing him playing on the wing with someone like Larkin and Raymond down the road is pretty appealing.

A few comps I've seen are Landeskog, better skating Bertuzzi, Oshie and more skilled Lawson Crouse. At 15, youre not going to get a perfect prospect but he checks a lot of boxes to make him a fan favourite one day. Detroit could also really use a triggerman and this guy can shoooot

Agreed but the Red Wings are taking a certain type of players and they need to mix in some high end skills at some point one would think.
