Michael Brandsegg-Nygård Is Turning Heads In The AHL

Detroit’s prospect pipeline is getting a real boost from Brandsegg-Nygård, and the early buzz sounds a lot louder than normal rookie praise. When a young player lights it up in the AHL, it usually means the pace is not bothering him and the next conversation starts sooner than planned. The Red Wings love when a prospect forces the issue, because it shortens the gap between “interesting” and “you need to make room.” That is exactly the kind of pressure an organization wants from its talent pool.
