https://eprinkside.com/2024/04/09/film-room-michael-brandsegg-nygards-the-perfect-blend-of-grit-and-skill-in-the-2024-nhl-draft I find Brandsegg-Nygård a very intriguing option at #11. All of his metrics look good, the eye test looks great, and really the only thing missing is some more deception and passing. He's really old for his class, he's closer to Benson in age than he is Tij Iginla. The more I watch the more I am convinced this is the type of guy that sits on your #2 RW and helps you win playoff games. He's going to have a PK role and could be put in the AHL I think this upcoming season unless he has a year remaining in the SHL which is also fine. My biggest gripe is he needs to work on playmaking and seeing some of those options better in the offensive zone. Between his insanely detailed and polished checking game and excellent shot though, I think he's a 25g-30g RW with excellent defensive metrics at his peak in the NHL. He would help win you playoff games because he has that battle and motor. He's kinda like Tkachuk-esque.

Ivan Demidov, 6'.5" and 192lbs

Does OV, mean Victor Olofsson? He doesn't play defense.

Penalties drawn

nope Or the short version

Which seems unlikely. They already have a ton of space to do that anyways.

Goodrow is overpaid and not that good

just remember this when ever you complain about Tage or Dylan

Really? I'd be surprised.

Dude is a cancer.

Jeff Skinner has a full NMC PLD, did not.

Yikes. I wouldn't trade a 7th round pick in 2089 for PLD.

Rankings have him mid60s to mid 80s so early 3rd to early 4th.

Hold up. This makes no sense. Teams have way more flexibility in the summer than trade deadline. The contenders have a much easier time fitting 4.5mil in then they would have in March.

Probably. Which is kinda the thing, how are we replacing his 35g and adding another 25g? I'm all for buying him out next year when Benson and Savoie, and Kulich are older.

Yup

Do you watch hockey? Do you think it's basketball? Whatever, McDavid has proven he's excellent in the playoffs.

I can't eyeroll this type of thinking hard enough.

Not when you start benching or trading guys it won't. This also assumes a player like Quinn would follow Skinner down that road which I think unlikely.

Iginla. He plays similar to Benson and we need more of that.

This thread has convinced humans are terrible at stats. Explains hockey drafting. I'll play though. Ik a teacher who makes 62,597. He's been a teacher since 2014. Therfore all teachers make 60k.

I pretty much hate Pronmans mock. It's basically terrible outside of Catton.

Pronman mock: Buffalo Sabres 11. Berkly Catton, C, Spokane (WHL) 43. Gabriel Eliasson, D, Hv71 Jr. (SWEDEN-JR.) 76. Timur Kol, D, Omsk Jr. (RUSSIA-JR.) 108. Dawson Cowan, G, Spokane (WHL) 109. Miguel Marques, RW, Lethbridge (WHL) 172. Fyodor Avramov, LW, Stupino Jr. (RUSSIA-JR.) 204. Roman Shokhrin, D, Loko-76 Yaroslavl (RUSSIA-JR.) 225. Charlie Major, C, Chicago (USHL)

He's not. He's just bad defensively.
