Jack Berglund

Yeah.

Just recently, I was looking over like Jack Berglund's team and a few other teams.

And there's some real grizzled NHL veterans that have gone back there.

And so I feel like if he has a chance, Noon Schwander has a chance to kind of like interact with those guys.

The Flyers have a few.

I'm looking at a Jack Berglund.

I think Berglund would be a guy that's really valued outside of this organization.

A guy like Jack Nesbitt, a first-round pick, playing at Michigan now, especially for Detroit, who the GM acting Sean Horkoff's son plays with.

So he would have all the intel he needs.

Think about the Swedish connections in Detroit.

They would know about Jack Berglund, who's at roughly a point per game, a dozen into the SHL campaign.

You couple that with a guy like Ken Owen Tippett,

But look, I think the devil's the big thing for New Jersey is you mentioned it.

Isaiah ship, Jack, who's got to stay healthy.

You play consistently, keep pucks out of your neck, keep pucks out of your zone, play a good transition team and find different ways to win.

That's going to be this team.

I still think he can make it as an NHL defenseman.

It's just, I think he just needs more time.

In the very beginning, I think he thought, and his agent thought, he was better than he was, and they were bitching to the Blue Jackets that he should be up, he shouldn't be down in the minors, and it turned out wrong.

And now he's in his third organization, and now he's starting to get scratched by the Flyers.

Who played alongside a, a Cole Knuble.

Doesn't account for a Jack Berglund, who's producing to a point per game pace in the SHL.

Him being an inevitable add toward the end of this season, most likely.

The Flyers are in a pretty solid spot from a, from a youth perspective.

Like, we're just seeing the likes of Oliver Bong, Alex Bump, Denver Barkey, Cole Kniebel.

You know, this is Marton's rookie season to say nothing of guys like Jack Berglund and Jeff Luchenko.

So I do think this is for the long haul, and you just have to hope that Rick Hawkins is able to help these kids along and not get too impatient, much like John Tortorella did two seasons ago.

So, winless teams.

With the exception of Bump, I don't know if he got any of these guys.

I like Jack Berglund towards the end of last season.

He was easily the best player the last two or three weeks of the season, but he went back to Sweden this year because he's got better things to do with his time than fucking play for this organization right now.

And, yeah, so prospect-wise, they're still fucked, just to put a bow on that segment, but...

I think, again, sometimes good player development can have guys overshoot the projection that you even had for them when you drafted them.

Like, even if you drafted safe, like, and I'll bring up Jack Berglund, like, if, you know, he gets fostered right and he turns into a second line center, he has overshot probably what they thought he might be.

Right.

So I think there's always a chance of that, but I'm not gonna disagree with this.

What are the other, because the Canadians might say Michael Hage, Ryan Bacher, first round pick.

The Flyers might say, you know, Oliver Bogd, Jet Luchenko, Jack Berglund, and the Toronto unprotected first-round pick, what have you.

But this is the era we live in.

So I think anything from a Kirill Marchenko to a Dylan Larkin to a Quinn Hughes, they would be interested in.

And the speed,

right, on top of that.

And like, listen, am I married to Noah Cates? No, because I think you have a lot of internal candidates that could take his place over the next two to three years, whether that be Berglund or Ruonan or Luchenko or they quarter the market on third line centers at this point, you know.

Alex bump is someone that I see the potential.
