Yea agreed Michael Brandsegg-Nygard is decent, but shouldn’t be taken at 9. He seems NHL ready in terms of his two way playing style, size, speed and shot, but his ceiling isn’t all that high offensively. He shows great tenacity, puck pursuit, jam and defensive effort, but little to no flash, and limited in terms of playmaking. He’s always in a fast paced panic mode in the offensive zone, similar to a taller version of Viktor Arvidsson. Even when he scores it seems as though it’s due to the strength of his heavy shot rather than the accuracy. His shot kinda goes top corner-ish, but it’s not those bar down tight on the post shots. Anyways, just think he’s got a great motor and two way play, but I think it amounts to a 20-25 goal and 20 assist player with jam, speed and size. I mean that’s a decent player, but maybe for a little later in the draft.
