Michael Brandsegg-Nygård Scouting Report

Brandsegg-Nygard has a chance to become the first Norwegian born first-round NHL pick. He's a 6'1 burner with an excellent shot. His catch and release, is very quick. He shoots the puck in stride off the rush, and has shown he can beat goalies from the top of the circles with an accurate snap shot.
He's more than just offense though. Brandsegg-Nygard is committed defensively and recognizes his responsibilities before going on offense. He could be a riser as the season roles along. Projects as a potential top six NHL forward who plays fast and has the hockey sense to be used in a variety of roles.
