Summary
Detroit Red Wings rookie Michael Brandsegg-Nygard is making waves, landing at 18 on The Athletic’s top Calder Trophy candidate list. Drafted 13th in 2024, he exploded with 20 goals and 44 points for Grand Rapids last season, adding 8 points in playoffs. With the Red Wings’ offense in flux, his quick release, heavy shot, and pro-style game make him a perfect fit. Scouts praise his tenacity and puck battles—no flash, just grit and skill. He’s not the first Red Wing to earn Calder buzz (Moritz Seider won it in 2020, Roger Crozier back in ’65), and the Griffins’ throwback photo featuring Todd Bertuzzi? His son Tag’s now on the roster, putting up solid ECHL numbers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
