Elite Prospects
Player type: defensive defenseman, heavy hitter, PK specialist
"What defines Solberg above everything else is his mean streak. He’s not content just repelling opponents. He wants them to be as close as possible, as it’s then easier for him to press his stick in their back. He inflicts pain every chance he gets, immobilizes opponents, and knocks them away from the front of the net."

TSN/Craig Button
Projection: no. 2/3 D
Comparable: Brayden McNabb
Skating: 4.5/5
Hockey sense: 4/5
Competitiveness: 4.5/5
Defensive play: 4/5
Puck skills: 3.5/5
"Physical and territorial. Doesn't cede space. Jumps into the play offensively. Very good skater who uses it to his advantage."
Athletic/Pronman
Tier: bubble top and middle of the lineup player
Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: high-end
Shot: above NHL average
Comparable: Kaiden Guhle
"Solberg played all-situations minutes for his pro team in Norway this season and was an important part of Norway’s U20 and senior team, ending his year with a great World Championship where he was one of Norway’s best players. He’s a very good defender due to his combination of size, mobility and compete. He is a hyper-physical defenseman who plays with an edge and wins a lot of pucks. He closes on gaps well and breaks up a good number of plays. Offensively he can skate pucks up ice and has decent hands as well. I don’t see top-end puck play, but over the course of the season, I came around on that aspect of his game. He can make a first pass and shows enough touch to go with tremendous defensive work, projecting as a legit top-four NHL defender."

It's been 7 years since I've actually been excited about a Ducks late 1st pick, Let's go Solberg, definitely takes the sting out of missing out on Demidov slightly
Dirk, can you explain this pick? Perhaps verbeek hoodwinked?
Verbeek thought that EliteProspects video was titled "The Most Gentle Giant in the 2024 Draft" and rushed to the phones, he'll realize his mistake and trade him
Obvious Madden pick but can't say anything bad about this one
the way he moves is very reminiscent of Vitaly Vishnevski.
LOVE me some Solberg. Outstanding job.
Put Madden in Antarctica and you’ll leave with a couple NHL Dmen prospects

What's the connection with Zegras? I saw the quote, but like I'm sure there's going to be lots of Ducks players that wont be on the team when he is. Why mention Zegras, is there history with them?
