How's everyone feeling about Michael Brandsegg-Nygard's start to the pre-season. I know its the SHL pre-season (and international friendlies) but he's got like 4 goals in 3 games or something like that. Dude can absolutely bomb the puck. I think he's going to be a great pick and I already can't wait to see him on a line with Larkin and Raymond. Can you imagine having a hard working power forward on that line who is ALSO a trigger man? I'm sold.

What I like about this guy is probably exactly what I think you like about this guy.  All his highlights are even strength, and they're not all tap in goals from someone else's work.  Some of them are hits, some of them are him taking penalties, and some of them are him sniping goals from the 30-40'.  These are exactly the things ALL NHL teams are short on.  Everybody has a guy like Debrincat that can float around on power plays and pick up 50 of his 60 points on the man advantage.  Do you need a guy like that?  Sure.  Not saying he doesn't have a place.  But guys like MBN put a team over the top when the refs tighten up in the playoffs and you need to grind.  I think we got a good one in him.  I really don't care about his goal scoring, tbh.  It's nice, but it's not what makes me want him in the wheel.  I like him because he presses the play without the puck.  He's always moving and doing something.  He's a guy that's going to require minimal coaching.  If he hits the weight pile and gets ripped, he'll be a good one.  Floor Lapointe, Ceiling Shanahan.

I do agree with most of this. He reminds me a ton of Zach Hyman stylistically. Who doesn't want that guy riding shotgun on your top line? He's been awesome so far and I'm further in love with our farm system than I was before. He's a keeper and is going to look good on this team for a looooong time.

Yah, I feel like a Berggren-Danielson-MBN line could be the best "3rd Line" in the league.  15 minutes a night regular season, then 22 minutes a night playoffs.  All 3 play both ways, and all 3 are hungry.  Going to be interesting to see what happens this year.  

Raymond-Larkin-Tarasenko

Debrincat-Copp-Kane

Rasmussen-Kasper-Compher

Berggren-Danielson-MBN

Veleno/Fischer

 

That's a good FW lineup, imo.

MBN is already 6'1 over 200lbs. Hes one of our more phycally developed prospects which is why he might be fast tracked.

Pronman ranked our u23 players 14th in the league. 

1. Raymond 2. Danielson 3. Edvinsson. 4 ASP 5. Kasper 6. MBN 7. Cossa 8. Mazur 9. Buium 10. Augustine

I think this is going to be a really good core and Corey is sleeping on a few of them namely MBN and Mazur.

Raymond isn't a prospect

ASP is probably going to be better than Ed

MBN and Mazur might already be better than Kasper

Augustine is going to be better than Cossa

I really think Kasper and Ed probably end up the most dissapointing of all our blue chips...

Narp... Cossa is my dark horse for the Canadian Olympic team... we're very thin at G, if he gets games this year and steals the starting job by Xmas 2025 he'll be selected.

This should be in bold predictions thread.

Should it though? 

Raymond has been on the team for 3 full seasons.

In D+1 ASP has led his team to an SHL champion and earned the SHL norris. In D+3 Edogg still couldn't make the Wings. 

8 overall Kasper is being outscored by 3rd rounder Mazur. MBN already looks like the forward version of Seider in the SHL this season. 

In D+1 Augustine is on USAs WC team at 19 and team MVP for his NCAA club... a team that had the 2024 #2 overall pick on it. In D+3 Cossa is still splitting time in GR. 

Kasper, Cossa, and Ed are great prospects, but guys like ASP, MBN, and Trey are rising QUICKLY up the depth chart. Faster than the later was doing at the same age IMHO.

If guys struggle to score in GR - they immediately need to start watching old footage of Maltby/Cleary otherwise they'll wind up like Zadina...

In all fairness to Kasper, he was coming back from a broken knee cap, That's why Mazur was doing somewhat better than him.

Kasper is a bottom 6er similar to Veleno

Our only hope is his testicles descended and he plays with some fire...If not - yeah he'll be useless like Joey V.

Dont lie. You're dreaming about the B for his Bronze Eggs.

I remember the crap I got last summer when I said he wouldn't make the roster.

[town123 212]

I guess I'm watching a different Kasper than you guys.    The kid is tough as nails, controls the puck, makes smart plays and is always in front of the net. 

 Looks like a John Tavares in training to me.

Tavares? Now thats a bold prediction 

TBF I think he has at least Corey Emmerton upside at this point

JT didn't have a coffee in the AHL...

[kipwinger 8,671]

I'm not worried about Kasper. Yall are nuts and are going to have egg all over your faces on this one.

[kipwinger 8,671]

Either MBN is bigger than his listed size, or Nate Danielson is smaller, because they stood next to one another during the national anthem in Game 1 and MBN towered over N8.

I don't disagree with the sentiment BUT we all know this will never happen because "over-ripening" we may see this line 2-3 season from now.

[Jimmybigrigs69 301]

Prospect Tourney 1st game

IMO Danielson was the best player on the ice, but that's sorta expected given his age and draft capital. Not convinced he's making the wings yet, but he was supposed to look good out there and did. Can't complain.

Lombardi looked slick, and Dallas's more unknown players couldnt contain him. But im kinda like... where was this dominance with the Griffs last season? Making fools of undrafted invited players is one thing, but that needs to start translating to the AHL soon. IDK just hoping he's not another Jurco.

Emmitt Finnie is a DAWGGGG. Brilliant drafting by the team there. FinDog is rapidly climbing the depth chart.
