MICHAEL BRANDSEGG-NYGARD DRAFT REACTION - Detroit Red Wings pick Brandsegg-Nygård 15th - Analysis 

Not gonna lie I don't know many of these guys who get drafted anymore. So I come to your guys channel 😂😂to get schooled

I'm interested in seeing Axel Sandin-Pelikka in a winged wheel jersey. I think he will be a special d-man for DRW in the near future

Too many people listen to talking heads about who we need and who we don't. The fact of the matter is the Wings got screwed in the lottery, and haven't had the #1 pick since the 80's. They don't have Bedard, Hughes, or Celebrini, and because of that they have to win in a different way. They aren't going to be a top heavy team, with 3 guys scoring all their goals. If they had any lottery luck that would be possible, but since they didn't they have to be a well rounded, punishing, defensive team. Their future is Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson, Danielson, Kasper, Sandin-Pelika, Mazur, Johanssen, MBN, Cossa and Augustine. Does that seem bad? To me that seems like a lot of talent, and an exciting future. Don't lose faith, some analysts say we have the #1 prospect pool in hockey, and we missed the playoffs by the smallest margin possible last year with only two of those players on the team. Give it time, stay the course, and remain positive.

Funny when he said MBN forechecks like a dog 🐕 it barked in agreement and took that as complement;).😁

I deleted the comment yesterday, but I am leaving it up on this video. You guys need to cut ties with lying hacks like Sean Shapiro. It is a bad look being associated with people like him.

A somewhat random comment. I’m an American living in Norway and playing beer league here. Even the low-level beer league Norwegian players are insanely competitive and will do anything to win a game. If MBN follows that national trait, we did well.

Been compared to Chris Kreider and Kyle Palmieri.......... In the pre draft interviews MBN is a very likable guy, His personality sort of reminds me of pre - concussion Franzen who was a little quirky and ready for levity with a chippy edge out on the ice. Right now he has the frame to add even more muscle, he looks like a very solid build. MBN and ASP will play together next year with Skellefteå AIK so that probably had a lot to do with the selection also.

My Nyggard!

Draper is in charge of scouting. He will always recommend. a prospect who reminds him of himself.

Eiserman would have been great!!

Haha, it’s funny how you are going back and forth, speculating who they’re going to pick, even almost being sure it’s Solberg at one point. And then when they select MBN you say that it was very easy to predict. 😀

He reminds me of a slightly smaller, Chris Kreider

Kind of obvious that Yzerman wants to build a team that’s tough to play against, kind of like the Panthers. Tough teams win cups, but eventually we need a superstar.

a power forward

We’re going to be stuck in mediocrity for YEARS. I don’t see any indication of elite talent down the pipeline. At least I have my second team (Panthers) since half of my family lives in a Florida since 2008.

I like it tbh

Danielson is a 30 plus guy

A key factor you’re missing is MBN will be playing with ASP next year in the SHL. So hopefully 2025-26 they’ll have built some chemistry and be superstars in Detroit… we’ll see.

Takes what on paper is considered the best player available (boring). MBN is ~3 years away from being an NHL player, if he even reaches that level. Played in youth hockey and in HockeyAllsvenskan, a tier below the SHL. This year's draft is very uncertain if you don't have top 5 picks. From 24/25 MBN is in *Skellefteå AIK organization together with ASP in SHL (*Champions). MBN only has a 1 year contract with Skellefteå today which covers his participation during 24/25. This is something I like as it gives increased flexibility to find new solutions to his needs. MBN needs to work on increasing his speed, stickhandling as he drops a lot of pucks and how to take tight turns. Playing at a lower level has its drawbacks, not really the best facilities and so on. As many including myself classify him as a "power forward" these qualities are what he needs to improve now. It will be interesting to see how he is used in Skellefteå during the year and how he reacts to facing better players. As Norwegian citizens, they are always very polite, have a great sense of humour. Personally, I can see Burger & MBN becoming best friends if they are both part of future RW. It's good for Norwegian hockey that two players were already taken in the first round, doesn't happen every year as far as I know.

I called this pick not even knowing anything about the kids getting drafted

im disappointed we didn't get eiserman, he's going to be a stud i think

Should of done drafted Greentree, not sure why he fell so far

Most mocks I seen did have this kid going 15-16

Lmao Evan's reaction

Nygard please

What’s with us and Swedes? 😂

Can't wait to watch all the high end scoring talent we passed on flourish in the next few years. Yzerman is trying his hardest to out mild Minnesota. We want to be the most mid team the nhl has ever seen.

HIs stat line is similar to Filip Forsberg/Jespert Bratt, he did really well at WJC too

So we just drafted a 3rd line winger? Yippie we're going to be the Minnesota wild

How many times can we draft the same player? We constantly draft the safe player with limited offensive upside over the elite upside with limited defensive skills. We draft the guys with 2nd line ceilings and wonder why we don't have any one develop into stars. I hope I'm wrong but first watch I'm not super impressed with his stick handling or agility. Very much a dump and chase guy it seems. Holding out for a blockbuster trade

“Can score some goals”…he had 18 points in 40 games..

👍🏻💪🏻🚨🥅🏒 #lgrw
