Five Things to Like About Red Wings Rookie Brandsegg-Nygard (+)

As the Detroit Red Wings open training camp on Thursday, watching 2024 first-round draft pick Michael Brandsegg-Nygard in action will be a delightful treat. Originally, the plan for the big Norwegian winger was that he’d be sequestered in Sweden with Skelleftea of the SHL for the 2024-25 season.

Instead, the Detroit brass was making the decision to bring Brandsegg-Nygard to training camp and see how he’d fare.

“We’ve talked to Skelleftea in Sweden, talked with his agents as well, and to Michael to at least come to training camp,” Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman explained.
