Solberg and Brandsegg-Nygård are almost certainly getting drafted but in 2024.

Hope Solberg isn't related to Erna, otherwise I'd have to cheer against him hehe.

Not a huge fan of purely guessing, so much depends on where and how they play next year.. In the first 5 rounds is probably as accurate of an answer as I'd be willing to give at this point. Although in Nygard's case, first 3 rounds is a safe bet as well already if he stays with Mora.
I think most people would have Brandsegg Nygård in round 1 right now. But it is still 1,5 years until the draft so a lot can change. Will be exiting to see him and Solberg in the U18 WC this spring.

I’ll add that Vesterheim could see himself as a late round pick this year also.
This is the best young hockey class Norway has produced.

19 players in swedish leagues. Not to many in their own home league. But for Norway thats great for their NT future success. 14 forwards are playing in swedens J20. 14!

The 2004 generation is very deep on forwards by norwegian standards. Never had a norwegian u20 generation with such a deep forward group. Also three from the american jr./college league that compete for a spot in the forward group.
Goalkeeping should also be good with a GK from the best team in the Swedish j20 + Stensrud who plays senior hockey in Norway.
Maybe a bit thin on backs at this level. But some standouts like Stian Solberg who are projected to be an early round pick in the draft 2024. + 4 backs from the swedish j20 league. Gabriel Koch and Wasenden also have extensive senior hockey experience from Norway. But I would say we can roster two decent back pairs who'll have to have a lot of ice time atm. But we can't handle many injuries on or best backs, that will set us back.

NHL central scouting have three norwegians on their ranking for the draft 2023.
Jessli was on the try-out for the JWC team this year, but didn't get a spot in the roster. I think the draft have a bias towards players in NA over EU. But Jessli has a good record from NA.

Yeah, really nice to see. Vesterheim has been playing in their first line the last games (probably because someone is injured) so it seems like they trust him a lot. Hopefully he will be drafted.

Super strong team. Could challenge for medals.
Very solid roster.
What happened lately in Norway? All of a sudden they have prospects, and its not a fluke 2004 is really good, but 2005 is good aswell
Also, Mora is now their "base team"))

The norwegian icehockey federation hired Tobias Johansson. Former director of player development in Frölunda in Sweden. One of the best clubs in Swedish SHL. Also former scout for Dallas Stars in NHL.
They also hired John Riley an american as assistant coach. Former development coach for Philadelphia Flyers with long experience.

Mora is also a very good club for young norwegians. Close to Norway, and young players get lots of icetime in HA. It is harder to get icetime in clubs like Frölunda and Färjestad for young players than Mora.

I have to imagine Straume Vante gets a look as well. He was terrific at the U18’s, him and Solberg were that team.

A seriously underrated Norwegian player is Hans-Martin Ulvebne. He has a commitment to Bemidji, same as Kasper Magnussen, and is now the only Norwegian in the USHL. Went high in ushl draft. He did very solid work in the NAHL (point leader in his team) last year, and is a becoming a solid forward in Chicago Steel. Should be a obvious pick for Norway Team 2024.

what are the chances for mathias dehli to make the team? he is young but already looking great in the mens league. another great talent coming from Norway.

Not very likely on this team.
Next years team he might have a chanche, This years Norway u20 have a very deep forward group, with tough competition from players in Swedish j20, NCAA and Canadian jr.league
