I've been thinking, we don't talk enough about Michael Brandsegg-Nygard in this thread. He's one of my favorite players in this draft, even though he's a winger, and I wouldn't mind at all if we took him at #9. He's a 6'1"(I think he'll play at 6'2") power-forward with a bit of a mean streak, but he's also an explosive skater, and one of the best defensive performers in the draft. He's a top offensive player too, with 5 points in 5 games at the WJC for a weak Team Norway, and is third overall in scoring by U-20 players in the AllSvenskan (a men's league) with 18 points in 41 games. 12 points in 7 games in the J20 as well. He'll be a difference-maker at the next level.
