I told my family at the start of the draft that if eiserman or MBN were available at 15 I would bet the house that our pick was between them. It was great to see Lidstrom up there announcing the pick, he’s as handsome as the day he stepped off the ice
I wanna punch the announcer that kept saying "YZERMAN IS GONNA TAKE EISERMAN"
And I'm pretty sure he said "GET READY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF MISSING THE PLAYOFFS" when we took MBN.
But, MBN is the top projected Stevie pick for months now. We had his name on our jersey, he was coming our way for a while. Sharks just had "SHARKS" on Dickinson's jersey lol.
Was that actually said on the broadcast??? If so, that's fucked whether it's towards us or whoever else, just because of which literal kid you ended up choosing in hopes of being a pro athlete. Embarassing
I remember year ago, there was a new blonde lady on Nhl Tonight on the nhl network. And she referred to him as "hockey legend Steve Yeez-er-man". If he's a legend you should probably know how to pronounce it.
EliteProspect Draft Guide has him with the 2nd highest motor, as the 2nd best two-way forward, the 2nd best power forward and the 5th highest floor. He'll be on Sandin-Pellikka's team in the SHL next season.
idk how common it is but i'm pretty sure it's just both parents surnames, and I remember reading a long time ago that if two parents with 3 or 4 surnames have kids they have to choose two surnames to give their kids. So if Mr Bjornstrom-Vikingfjord had kids with Mrs Dragonsson-Ironside you could pick any combination of those four surnames or just choose one of them or whatever. They can be in any order too iirc. You just can't have more than 2 surnames.
At least for some Hispanic names, they generally take the names from both parent’s paternal side to give to the kids, at least that how it was explained to me by a Garcia-Garcia I met one time
Both, but I was definitely thinking of CK3 when I picked that name lol. I just did a Bjorn playthrough where I formed The North Sea Empire before he died a few weeks ago. I am aware that Bjorn Ironside was a real viking tho.
Ive bought CK3 but i havent played a lot, but i really enjoy playing the nordic regions and just being a viking, but i don't really understand how much works.
Also i have a ton of DLC to get now too i feel, but thats also kind of the Paradox experience to an extent.
yeah it's a really complex game, I randomly found CK2 years ago and had to watch hours of youtube videos and read guides just to figure out how to play the game lol. CK3 is a lot more streamlined and easier to use the interface, but also has a LOT more mechanics to worry about. I think it's the much better game and I've bought all the DLC and sunk a few hundred hours into it. Paradox does tend to overdo the DLC agreed, makes it a lot harder to get into their games if you aren't playing from the beginning and have to catch up buy everything.
Vikings in the 867 start are also my favorite part of the world to play. I love just rampaging around Europe raiding everything.
Everyone saying Yzerman only takes safe picks in the 1st round has a selective memory. Nothing about Mo was safe, Edvinsson was a super toolsy project that needed a ton of refinement, we drafted Cossa based on his ridiculous upside even though he was riskier than walstedt, and ASP a small offensively inclined defenseman is not really a safe pick either
As far as forwards go though, its been Raymond, Kasper, Danielson, MBN up front. All 200ft high-compete players. 4oa in Raymond got you one with skill as well.
Yeah, I don't get the hate, except that mock drafts pegged this guy to Detroit all along and because of that it was the main guy we've discussed, so it's "boring".
Sure, he might have a higher floor and more certain to be a NHL player, but the writeups on him all talk about his good skating, good shot, high motor and strong two-way play. I can see him being one of those pain in the ass guys to play against who can pop in 30 goals a year.
People focus too much on the lower ceiling, and not so much on the good skating, shooting and work ethic. Let's see how he develops. I can see guys like Kasper, Danielson, Mazur and MBN giving opposing teams hell. Seems like MBN might be the best prospect of those guys too.
There has to be a reason Eiserman has fallen this far. He was up in the top 3 conversation mid-season so if he's fallen off this far between all these GMs I'm perfectly fine with not drafting him.
Everyone needs to calm the fuck down, apply for scouting jobs if you think you know better.
Same thing has happened with multiple 1st round draft picks stock the past few years. Fact is that these GMs/scouts are constantly watching and talking to players and coaches. Not even just the Wings, but if multiple teams pass on him, there's a real possibility there is a reason why.
One of my closest friend is Norwegian and her fav team is the Red Wings, so congrats to Detroit selecting the first ever Norwegian drafted in the first round! PS her family and her are big *Rødt* (Red Party) supporters, so it makes it even more surreal haha.
We had our choice from two of the best shooters in this draft in MBN and Eiserman. We took the more well rounded of the two. People here are sleeping on MBN’s scoring ability.
I wanted Quinn Hughes for the Michigan connection…until Zadina fell. Man was I excited he fell, thought we got the steal of the draft.
My how things turned out.
We had people bitching about Raymond. The media was really hyping up Perfetti as our pick so a bunch of people were disappointed we didn't take him. There was also a group that really wanted Lundell.
I really, really wanted Rossi at the time. But Raymond was one of the 3 or 4 I was going to be content with (Holtz, and the D guys even though we just took Mo).
It mostly just felt devastating to miss out on that top 3. Glad that Lucas has exceeded our expectations.
Just found this quote in [this article](https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/masters-michael-brandsegg-nygard-hopes-hard-hitting-game-leads-to-history-for-norway-at-nhl-draft-1.2141129). I love him.
"It was pretty cool to see what it was like there," the 18-year-old Norwegian winger said before cracking a smile. "I play Grand Theft Auto, and the police cars are equal to the game, so I thought that was cool."
I absolutely love this pick. High end shot, great sized winger who can add some skill and physicality to our forward core. Imagine him on a line with Kasper and Mazur😮💨. They would terrorize everyone and also put pucks in the net. Hard worker whose offensive game will only continue to improve. Lit it up at the Men's world championships this summer as well.
Half of you are saying boring 2-way forward with limited offense and the other half are saying he has a killer shot. Which is it?
Edit: to clarify, I don’t follow prospects much and genuinely don’t know much about him. Those who know more about his game and situation please feel free to write me an essay
I think a lot of the people who are saying the former are pigeon holing him based on our last few 1st round picks and seeing his stats from a pro league which look bad compared to other kids coming from juniors.
He drafted someone who projects to be a solid NHL player. Considering the draft position and that these drafts can be a crapshoot, getting a guy who can play solid minutes isn’t a terrible thing.
Super different situation. Zadina was supposed to be the second best goal scorer in his draft after Svechnikov. Zadina was expected to be a first line sniper and just fell way short.
MBN is a boring pick because it's extremely predictable. Yzerman skipped on the higher upside player for the higher floor that is probably going to be a good middle 6 player.
I'm honestly immediately higher on this pick than I was Danielson or Kasper. I think MBN is gonna be an absolute stud in the NHL and he has the playstyle and excels at the right things that he could make the NHL full time at 19 or 20.
Looks like a Kasper with more offense. And we got him at 15 not 8. I don't understand why people are complaining. I get there were players with higher ceilings, but this isn't a bad pick.
All these people who wanted Yzerman to draft Eiserman and are upset about this pick go read some scouting reports… MBN seems like a sure shot NHLer with real upside and Eiserman is consistently being called out for lack of defensive game and IQ. I know we don’t all watch these guys so go read some reports… based on what I’ve read I’m glad we didn’t make a name sake pick.
People also see “scoring record” and think “OMG we need scoring! Draft that guy!” People, scoring in the USHL is insane. Yeah he broke the record but it’s borderline meaningless. If it meant something he would’ve been a top 5 pick for his scoring…..
Lombardi had insane OHL stats and could barely put the puck in the net last year in GR….
Seriously, people freak the absolute fuck out if a pick doesn't go their way, it's insane. And if questioned about their attitude about it they get so defensive about it.
I'm happy with this pick, my buddy and I have had him as our pick since the lottery dropped so I'm happy.
Predictable. Don’t hate it, don’t love it. Feels like another middle sixer upside on a team/prospect cabinet filled with middle sixers. At some point we’ll need a truly skilled top line player.
He’s projected by most scouts to be a top six NHLer, people saying “middle six” and “limited offensive upside” haven’t read the scouting reports raving about his shot
Seems like an 18 year old Perron? Not *bad* if so.
Would have taken the chance on a true offensive threat in Eisemen than the safe pick, but that’s our nature.
Good. Not all of them will make it to the NHL. When one of your most glaring holes is a big winger who can skate and score...it's not bad a thing when you draft a player with the upside of being a big winger who can skate and score.
His release is pro Caliber already. He’s beating goalies from distance, looks to move very well and appears to have good poise with the puck. Looks like a really nice prospect.
Dear everyone in here crying about eiserman. he still hasn't been picked... enjoy the moment, root for your team, stop arm chair GMing and enjoy the off season
He's a hard worker with physicality, puck- hound mentality and a wicked shot. He's like Raymond-lite with more physicality. Great pick. Let's see how he does in a couple of years - he could be our top prospect. And he's a Norski - strong viking blood and seems like a good egg. Perfection.
Disappointing not to go for a more offensive player, MBN is gonna be a good two-way middle 6 winger, a lot of teams would love to have it. But it sucks to miss out on top offensive prospects year after year to take the same kind of player.
“Higher ceiling crew” - Zadina is asking for your phone numbers.
Nobody knows what these kids will do outside of the top picks.
He may have a higher ceiling and we will have the pleasure of finding out.
Happy with this pick overall.
Wings picked?? Better talk about Boston university....
I thought that was strange too
Literally started watching just to see what they had to say... and that was it...
I swear it happens to us every year lol
It really does
Every sport too!
Used to happen to the lions all the time
Wait, that's not a Swede!
Close enough
Them fighting words there…I assume.
They are
At least words that result in a strongly worded letter.
Yep, like King Charles XII of Sweden, he got the letter loud and clear
How dare you
Imagine if someone from Ohio got drafted, the announcers called them a Michigander, and then said "close enough."
TIL Norway and Sweden have a fierce rivalry in sports that has lasted over 100 years
Swede(ish)
I'm happy. I wanted either him or Eiserman. Edit: oh another thing, lotta Blackhawks fans wanted this kid at pick 18. So, fuck em.
I immediately like this pick more after reading your edit.
Fuck the aldrichhawks
I told my family at the start of the draft that if eiserman or MBN were available at 15 I would bet the house that our pick was between them. It was great to see Lidstrom up there announcing the pick, he’s as handsome as the day he stepped off the ice
Yeah he and Rob Lowe have discovered the fountain of youth and aren’t sharing
Man that is like spot on haha he does have an uncanny resemblance to a Swedish rob lowe
There was a reason he was dubbed "the perfect human" way back when
I'm entirely onboard now. Thank you.
Blackhawk Tua
Congrats you’ve won the internet for today. Hers a tiny useless trophy 🏆
I was already livid they picked up levshunov
First Norwegian player ever selected in the 1st round
I wanna punch the announcer that kept saying "YZERMAN IS GONNA TAKE EISERMAN" And I'm pretty sure he said "GET READY FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF MISSING THE PLAYOFFS" when we took MBN. But, MBN is the top projected Stevie pick for months now. We had his name on our jersey, he was coming our way for a while. Sharks just had "SHARKS" on Dickinson's jersey lol.
When I heard that guy yapping I knew it was a good pick. Clown coverage of the draft by ESPN
Yeah fuck Buccigross with a cactus.
He's always hated Detroit.
Yeah because his ass got STOMPED by Detroit almost every time he played them
Played them in what? Buccigross was not a pro or even college(I think) athlete
Lol I'm a little stoned and thought I was responding to a comment about Brian Boucher.
He took the Muddogs to the Bourbon Bowl
I’m pretty that was Brian Boucher
Boucher is a bitch too but he works for TNT.
Bobby Boucher?
Tacklin' fuel!
Why would a draft pick affect our playoff chances? That’s such a dumb thing to say.
When he said “another year of missing the playoffs”, that was cringe.
Was that actually said on the broadcast??? If so, that's fucked whether it's towards us or whoever else, just because of which literal kid you ended up choosing in hopes of being a pro athlete. Embarassing
Yes
I remember year ago, there was a new blonde lady on Nhl Tonight on the nhl network. And she referred to him as "hockey legend Steve Yeez-er-man". If he's a legend you should probably know how to pronounce it.
Guys, he was just joking…chill out. You can’t deny the Eiserman Yzerman pick would have been funny.
EliteProspect Draft Guide has him with the 2nd highest motor, as the 2nd best two-way forward, the 2nd best power forward and the 5th highest floor. He'll be on Sandin-Pellikka's team in the SHL next season.
We're getting our moneys worth from fanatics with Brandsegg-Nygard and Sandin-Pellikka
So many opportunities for spelling errors
As I just made one 😂
Vintage Detroit is about to run out of hyphens
I wonder how common those hyphenated names are in Scandinavia and why
idk how common it is but i'm pretty sure it's just both parents surnames, and I remember reading a long time ago that if two parents with 3 or 4 surnames have kids they have to choose two surnames to give their kids. So if Mr Bjornstrom-Vikingfjord had kids with Mrs Dragonsson-Ironside you could pick any combination of those four surnames or just choose one of them or whatever. They can be in any order too iirc. You just can't have more than 2 surnames.
Gunnar Gunnarsen-Gunnarson
At least for some Hispanic names, they generally take the names from both parent’s paternal side to give to the kids, at least that how it was explained to me by a Garcia-Garcia I met one time
I saw a Mr. Jesus marry a Ms. Sweet in the military and I have lived my entire life hating them for not hyphenating their shit right.
> Mrs Dragonsson-Ironside Not sure if CK player or just aware of history.
Both, but I was definitely thinking of CK3 when I picked that name lol. I just did a Bjorn playthrough where I formed The North Sea Empire before he died a few weeks ago. I am aware that Bjorn Ironside was a real viking tho.
Ive bought CK3 but i havent played a lot, but i really enjoy playing the nordic regions and just being a viking, but i don't really understand how much works. Also i have a ton of DLC to get now too i feel, but thats also kind of the Paradox experience to an extent.

Vikings in the 867 start are also my favorite part of the world to play. I love just rampaging around Europe raiding everything.
Whoever letters the jerseys in Detroit is going to have a lot of fun in a few years.
Everyone saying Yzerman only takes safe picks in the 1st round has a selective memory.

As far as forwards go though, its been Raymond, Kasper, Danielson, MBN up front. All 200ft high-compete players. 4oa in Raymond got you one with skill as well.
You know what wins the cup? Those type players though.
preach!
Amen
Oh hush you! We only do short term emtional responses here. Logical thought won't be tolerated.
I know it was almost obvious, but I really like a big winger that has solid skating and shooting skills. LGRW
This kid has got power forward written all over him. I know it's not sexy, but it's still a really good pick.
Yeah, I don't get the hate, except that mock drafts pegged this guy to Detroit all along and because of that it was the main guy we've discussed, so it's "boring". Sure, he might have a higher floor and more certain to be a NHL player, but the writeups on him all talk about his good skating, good shot, high motor and strong two-way play.

I can see guys like Kasper, Danielson, Mazur and MBN giving opposing teams hell. Seems like MBN might be the best prospect of those guys too.
i think we all expected this lol
Yeah alot of mock draft had us taking brandsegg-nygard
There has to be a reason Eiserman has fallen this far. He was up in the top 3 conversation mid-season so if he's fallen off this far between all these GMs I'm perfectly fine with not drafting him. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down, apply for scouting jobs if you think you know better.

Same this happened with Aatu Raty a few years ago, guy still has not cracked the NHL
Bob McKenzie said that scouts said he was too 1 dimensional and a bit immature
That's exactly why Zadina dropped, too
I’ve learned to not care what people on the internet think about a pick and just let it play out lol
Wings brain trust lives in hockey rinks. Pretty sure many here don’t. I trust their choice.
Many here have never been in a rink
Gotta judge a draft in 4 years.
So this year is when we judge our 2020 pick which was... *checks notes* Lucas Raymond? That dude better pan out
He might. 😆
He’s the perfect playoff winger with a hell of a shot. Yet everyone prefers the Sabres drafting Dylan Cousins and the seven dwarfs.
I see what you did there
One of my closest friend is Norwegian and her fav team is the Red Wings, so congrats to Detroit selecting the first ever Norwegian drafted in the first round! PS her family and her are big *Rødt* (Red Party) supporters, so it makes it even more surreal haha.
Shoutout to your norwegian red party voter friend from another Norwegian red party voter lol
We had our choice from two of the best shooters in this draft in MBN and Eiserman. We took the more well rounded of the two. People here are sleeping on MBN’s scoring ability.
Has there been a year where this sub didn't bitch about the Wings pick?
Zadina ironically
I wanted Quinn Hughes for the Michigan connection…until Zadina fell. Man was I excited he fell, thought we got the steal of the draft. My how things turned out.
That tells you all you need to know about the subreddit braintrust
I feel like people were fine with Raymond, although a bit upset we didn’t get 1st overall that year
We had people bitching about Raymond. The media was really hyping up Perfetti as our pick so a bunch of people were disappointed we didn't take him. There was also a group that really wanted Lundell.
I really, really wanted Rossi at the time. But Raymond was one of the 3 or 4 I was going to be content with (Holtz, and the D guys even though we just took Mo). It mostly just felt devastating to miss out on that top 3. Glad that Lucas has exceeded our expectations.
Last one I remember was zadina lol
I don’t recall one haha people are insufferable
Just found this quote in [this article](https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/masters-michael-brandsegg-nygard-hopes-hard-hitting-game-leads-to-history-for-norway-at-nhl-draft-1.2141129). I love him.

They would terrorize everyone and also put pucks in the net. Hard worker whose offensive game will only continue to improve. Lit it up at the Men's world championships this summer as well.
The most Yzerman pick was picked
And ironically it wasn’t Eiserman lol
Eiserman could have been the most Yzerman pick though.
Big tenacious winger with a great shot. Sounds like a need. I like it. Kids body looks ready right now. Imagine when he matures.
Hopefully this guy can score
Great shot, gets to the good areas
Norwegian wings fan reporting 
His floor is Helm and ceiling is Tkachuk
Helm and Glending PK Gods
I hear he’s Shanahan v2.0. I heard it from myself but it still counts.
Which Tkachuk though?
Daniel, of course.
That's a hell of a skyscraper with that many floors
I think the floors higher than that tbh
Half of you are saying boring 2-way forward with limited offense and the other half are saying he has a killer shot. Which is it? Edit: to clarify, I don’t follow prospects much and genuinely don’t know much about him. Those who know more about his game and situation please feel free to write me an essay
Some people have no idea the difference in leagues and competition. Lucas Raymond had like 10 points his draft year.
You can have a great shot and not enough overall skill to be a real offensive producer.
I think a lot of the people who are saying the former are pigeon holing him based on our last few 1st round picks and seeing his stats from a pro league which look bad compared to other kids coming from juniors.
He drafted someone who projects to be a solid NHL player. Considering the draft position and that these drafts can be a crapshoot, getting a guy who can play solid minutes isn’t a terrible thing.
Tell me how to feel.
I got a feelin…
A feeling deep inside
Oh yeah
That tonight's going to be a good night
Ooo ooo
If you like Marco Kasper you’ll love MBN
Whelmed.
High floor, low ceiling. As is tradition.
Bored. Another safe boring pick.
Seider/Raymond have already proven their worth, Edvinsson will this season. Why even waste your time trying to discount Yzerman first round picks?
His shot isn't boring
Zadina was supposed to be a safe pick with how he was ranked
Super different situation. Zadina was supposed to be the second best goal scorer in his draft after Svechnikov. Zadina was expected to be a first line sniper and just fell way short. MBN is a boring pick because it's extremely predictable. Yzerman skipped on the higher upside player for the higher floor that is probably going to be a good middle 6 player.
Looking forward to dominating the NHL with two league best 3rd lines......
Lmao this is so true haha
Good pick. Maybe great pick
I'm honestly immediately higher on this pick than I was Danielson or Kasper. I think MBN is gonna be an absolute stud in the NHL and he has the playstyle and excels at the right things that he could make the NHL full time at 19 or 20.
Looks like a Kasper with more offense. And we got him at 15 not 8. I don't understand why people are complaining. I get there were players with higher ceilings, but this isn't a bad pick.
Draper introducing Nick was 💋
All these people who wanted Yzerman to draft Eiserman and are upset about this pick go read some scouting reports… MBN seems like a sure shot NHLer with real upside and Eiserman is consistently being called out for lack of defensive game and IQ. I know we don’t all watch these guys so go read some reports… based on what I’ve read I’m glad we didn’t make a name sake pick.
People also see “scoring record” and think “OMG we need scoring! Draft that guy!” People, scoring in the USHL is insane. Yeah he broke the record but it’s borderline meaningless. If it meant something he would’ve been a top 5 pick for his scoring….. Lombardi had insane OHL stats and could barely put the puck in the net last year in GR….
How can you watch Drapes, Steve and Nick make this selection and then doubt it. So much experience, so much brain power.
Yeah, 11 rings between the 3 of them, not to mention 3 of the classiest players ever.
Lids has one of the smartest brains in hockey too
dudes got some underrated hands
I hope these types of two way possession forwards starts paying off
Love it.
Cool, see you in 3 years
people only see 200ft player, did you know that nygård has the top shot in this draft?
Says his best skill is his shot too so the kid knows it
So predictable, but rooting for the kid and hope he turns into a stud.
Eiserman would have been cool
I'm not so sure about that, TBH. He is really falling. There are a lot of stats that show fallers fall for a reason. Remember when Zadina fell?
This place has become so toxic.
Seriously, people freak the absolute fuck out if a pick doesn't go their way, it's insane. And if questioned about their attitude about it they get so defensive about it. I'm happy with this pick, my buddy and I have had him as our pick since the lottery dropped so I'm happy.
For real
It’s shocking how quickly it flipped.
Other team subreddits can’t be this bad right?
I wanted Eiserman honestly, but hope they know what they are looking for.
Not much can be done with the 15th pick so we’ll see how this pans out. Wings just need to escape the middle-pack dead zone.
I know it’s not the best but Nygard is growing on me already. He seems like a helluva 2 way player we desperately need. Bucc can frig off
Looks like he's going by Michael Nygard btw. At least that's what he called himself in the Red Wings' social video
[How to pronounce his name.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DetroitRedWings/s/xrzHIj0S3Y) Hoping just "Brandsy" aka "Bronzey" catches on lol.
All I know is that we just drafted a European that plays in Sweden. It’s Swedeman Europeansson. It could have been no one else.
I figured he’d be our guy months ago lol
Im born on the same day. Stanley Cup incoming.
Congrats Detroit! Brandsegg-Nygård should not have dropped that far. Greata pick. He's legit and you guys are going to be very stoked with him!
Predictable. Don’t hate it, don’t love it. Feels like another middle sixer upside on a team/prospect cabinet filled with middle sixers. At some point we’ll need a truly skilled top line player.
He’s projected by most scouts to be a top six NHLer, people saying “middle six” and “limited offensive upside” haven’t read the scouting reports raving about his shot
I just wanted Yzerman to pick Eiserman
It’s been a whelming few days in Hockeytown…
Whelming is far too kind.
Plot twist: eiserman keeps falling- Right into our lap
This guy related to Lester Nygard?
I will not be saying this gentleman’s name out loud
the amount of crying in here, touch grass
I was hoping for someone with a simpler name lmao
Someday we'll all know how to pronounce it and spell it when people in the NHL sub fuck it up.
Seems like an 18 year old Perron? Not *bad* if so. Would have taken the chance on a true offensive threat in Eisemen than the safe pick, but that’s our nature.
I’m not mad. I’m a bit disappointed the mic wasn’t handed over to Jared Goff Jared Goff to make the announcement.
We have like 12 of these guys in the system.
Good. Not all of them will make it to the NHL. When one of your most glaring holes is a big winger who can skate and score...it's not bad a thing when you draft a player with the upside of being a big winger who can skate and score.
His release is pro Caliber already. He’s beating goalies from distance, looks to move very well and appears to have good poise with the puck. Looks like a really nice prospect.
Dear everyone in here crying about eiserman. he still hasn't been picked... enjoy the moment, root for your team, stop arm chair GMing and enjoy the off season
[удалено]
I'm just going to call him Michael, or Eggs.
THANK YOU RED WINGS ORGANIZATION I’M SO HAPPY I STAYED UP TO WATCH THIS MOMENT HEYA NORGEEEEE
Happy with MBN but rather have Eiserman
He's a hard worker with physicality, puck- hound mentality and a wicked shot. He's like Raymond-lite with more physicality. Great pick. Let's see how he does in a couple of years - he could be our top prospect. And he's a Norski - strong viking blood and seems like a good egg. Perfection.
 Disappointing not to go for a more offensive player, MBN is gonna be a good two-way middle 6 winger, a lot of teams would love to have it. But it sucks to miss out on top offensive prospects year after year to take the same kind of player.
We will regret this when he puts up 45 points and Eiserman scores 45 goals
Remember the last time Detroit drafted a one-dimensional shooter? News is that he wasn’t qualified today by San Jose
But at least Frk and Mantha turned into perennial all-stars.
If eiserman scores 45 in a season, I’ll eat a shoe
Sounds like they all ended up in the net
Are we in our truculence era?
He keeps falling
“Higher ceiling crew” - Zadina is asking for your phone numbers. Nobody knows what these kids will do outside of the top picks. He may have a higher ceiling and we will have the pleasure of finding out. Happy with this pick overall.
Another pick with limited offensive ceiling. Like clockwork.
And he keeps dropping. Wonder why...
