Deux minutes pendant lesquelles Michael Brandsegg-Nygård interrompait les jeux en échec avant, se bousculait pour récupérer des rondelles libres, gagnait le positionnement du corps et écrasait des hommes adultes comme si de rien n’était. Le meilleur échec-avant du repêchage. #2024NHLDrepêchage
Two minutes of Michael Brandsegg-Nygård breaking up plays on the forecheck, hustling for loose pucks, winning body positioning, and running over grown men like it's nothing.

What do you all think of taking Michael Brandsegg-Nygård with 15? If there is someone you’d rather take at 15, who and why?
Kids a hound out there. He is a prototypical Yzerman pick if he is still available at 15.
That said I would prefer someone with more risk but a higher skill ceiling like Eiserman or Catton, but I would not complain if we landed this guy at all.
Listening to the Winged Wheel Podcast and the guys are saying that there are a bunch of defense needy teams ahead of the Wings that could very well result in a push of some high upside wingers down to where a good prospect is waiting at 15 for Yzerman to take or maybe trade up a few spots without having to give up too much. Either way, the Wings could have a very nice guy to add to the already top of the league pool. I would not hate it if Yzerman went to the podium to take Branden-Nygård
We need skill and speed. Idk the prospects super well but whoever is the most skilled/fastest forward I would like to see us take a shot.
Dude looks legit at what he does, but I sure hope we don’t go that route.
