Max Plante ... hmmm I was hoping for Teddy Stiga

[diehardredwingsfan58 164]

My bad Michael Bransegg Nygard you're a Detroit Red Wing.

[LeftWinger 5,149]

G Landon Miller in the 4th.

If they draft a G every year, I hope they can land Gabe D'Aigle in 2025.

[Akakabuto 1,858]

Ondrej Becher form Prince George Cougars taken in the 3rd. Guess the Scam didnt check(no pun intended) his birthplace.

Why is every round beyond the second ending one pick later than it should?

[town123 235]

Flyers got a comp 2nd rounder for not signing their 1st rounder from a few years ago.

I think they picked him at 19 and now a few years later get the 51st (?), so every pick is one position later.

People are saying MBN's another safe, underwhelming, high-floor-low-ceiling Euro and that Yzerman needs to cut it out with this crap. I get the frustration, but, to me, MBN's actually pretty close to what these people are clamoring for. Good size (not very tall, but he's got meat on his bones). Plays big boy pants North American hockey. Good at both ends of the ice. Can play in all situations (PK). Lethal shot. So basically: a modern power forward who probably won't take the usual 20 years to break into the NHL, given the selling points I just highlighted.

It's rare that a hard-nosed, 200-pound, 200-foot player can shoot the puck like this kid can. It's exciting because a hard-nosed, 200-pound, 200-foot player should have no problem putting himself in a position to score. Usually it's "He can shoot, but he's soft, so he isn't getting to the prime scoring areas" or "He lives in the prime scoring areas, but he's a grinder, so he can't convert."

April 2024 – Brandsegg-Nygård is arguably the most NHL-ready player in this class, except, of course, for Celebrini. He embodies the essence of a Swiss army knife forward who can immediately jump in and impact your penalty kill. His defensive instincts are among the highest in the class; combined with his intensity and proactive efforts off the puck, he poses a threat in nearly every facet of the game. Nygård took the label of “defensive forward” rather personally, setting a new record for points by a draft-eligible player in the HockeyAllsvenskan Playoffs with 10 points across 12 games. His shot is powerful and swiftly released, his nose for the net is keen, and he fluidly creates opportunities on the rush. He uses robust stride and powerful puck protection skills to drive those challenging areas. His adaptability and puck confidence are impressive, displaying all the hallmarks of an invaluable support forechecker on any line. He can almost immediately boost an NHL roster, and his versatility should prove to be very exciting for NHL franchises, as he’s capable of adapting seamlessly through any line or any situation his team may need him in.

Compher but with Sprong's shot.

I don't wanna HYPE! this kid up TOO much and I know I'm really banging this drum here...but it's wild how much hate I'm seeing for this pick. And 99% of it's because we didn't take Eiserman.

Maybe Eiserman's the better prospect. Maybe he's gonna be the better player. I don't know. No one does.

What I do know is there's risk with players like Eiserman. He was available at 15 because lots of other people passed on him. And they passed on him because of the risk.

I actually don't feel like finding pure scorers is a huge concern for us. Larkin scores. Raymond just put up 72 points. There's always trades and free agents. We pulled Kane out of our ass and he scored at a point-per-game clip.

I think players like the player MBN has the potential to be are arguably harder to find and arguably more valuable than the player Eiserman could be. Like I said a few posts back, it's rare to find a two-way power forward with a lethal shot. How many of those can you even name off the top of your head? So in that sense, I kinda feel like MBN is a bigger "swing for the fences" pick than Eiserman would've been.

I'm not one of those "TRUST THE YZERPLAN" bros. They annoy me. I just think most of the people complaining about this pick haven't actually researched the player. Because, again, he's pretty much the player they want.

Michael Brandsegg-Nygård is a gamer. Far from just holding his own, Brandsegg-Nygård bullied his opponents most nights. He went into every retrieval seeking out contact and almost always connected. Thunderous hits sent his opponents flying from the puck, and when he couldn’t overwhelm them with brute force, technique would take its place in the form of reverse hits, subtle jabs at the puck through contact to keep it from his opponent’s stick, or a drive up and through their hands to establish inside positioning. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

I meant I didn’t get it. Why would they get a pick for not signing their prospect?

He's trash, euro trash to be precise.

Just the NHL rules for not signing a 1st rounder.    MLB if you don't sign a 1st rounder, the next year you get to pick one spot later as compensation.      I guess the NHL wants to protect teams that are dumb.... lol
