“He’s your Sennecke on defence. He’s the biggest riser since Christmas. He’s got a lot of really likeable traits. He’s someone who can maybe play in that No. 4 or 5 spot in the NHL. He backs up the top players. He’s someone who, in the NHL, you put him with one of your two best defenceman and he can help them run a pair.” – Western Conference scout, May 2024

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."

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."

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?
