C Jacob Olofsson - Timra IK J20, Sweden (2018, 56th, MON)

[Lays]

Thought this was kind of interesting:

Both will be beasts.

Thought this was kind of interesting:

Are those the players? Because I only count 7 currently in the NHL.

Counted 8. De La Rose is a name I haven't heard in a while, surprised to see that he actually played most of this season in the NHL. A couple more players on that list will make it to the NHL but I'm not sure how they came up with the 80%.

 

[Zaddy]

I don't know about the numbers, I just found the PPG interesting, especially since everyone above them are late birthdays except for Nylander and Pastrnak. They're in pretty good company.

[WTFMAN99]

Why isn't he ranked higher? I kind of want him where the Leafs are picking.

 

[DatDude44]

I think he's the Kole lind/heponiemi of this draft meaning he'll go early in the 2nd and 10 teams will end up regretting not picking him in the 1st.

The 8 that are in the nhl divided by 10 because you add lunberg and ohman. All the other players don't count yet because their prospects.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

Scored the game winning goal with about 5 minutes left to force game 7 in SHL qualifiers.

 

[JimboA]

Scored the GWG in Game 5 too.

 

[DANOZ28]

does anyone know if hes a relative of my wilds D man gustav olofsson? i could see the wild picking jakob with our pick if available.

 

[JimboA]

Scored the GWG in Game 5 too.

Just realized that he also had the GWG in their first win.

Doubt it. Olofsson seems to be a pretty common Swedish last name. Buffalo also has a Olofsson (Victor)

 

[Grub]

The Canucks already got Timra's young stars in Petterson and Dahlen, why not go for a triple?

 

[WestCoastExpress94]

I think he's gonna be a guy that drops to 2nd round and then massively boost his stock in his D+1 season.

 

[Knarf9o5o1o4o9]

I think it'll take a series of Unfortunate Events for Olof to drop out of the first 2 rounds.

[QJL]

I’ll be pretty upset if this guy is around for the Rangers late 1sts and we don’t draft him. I don’t see him making it to the 2nd. He seems like one of the safer picks outside of the top tier players. I have him ranked around 20.

He’s a safe pick to be an NHLer with his size and defensive play but he has a ton of offensive potential as well, his shot is really nice and he makes a lot of creative plays. Was really good against USA today

 

[JK2K]

Zero points in three games?

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Zero points in three games?

He's playing very well despite his lack of points.

 

[Castle8130]

Seems like a Rangers type of pick.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

How does he compare to De la Rose and Vejdemo in their draft year?

How does he compare to De la Rose and Vejdemo in their draft year?

Similar to DLR, who showed promise but was rushed. DLR is a better skater but Olofsson is more toolsy, mainly in hands and shot. Also better league production.
