C Oliver Johansson - Timra, SHL (2021, 74th, OTT)

[MBH]

Anyone know anything about young Swede prospect Oliver Johansson?
Oliver Johansson at eliteprospects.com
A couple things stand out.
1) 3 goals in 5 games in Sweden's 2nd league. Could be a fluke, but still.
2) Only 17. One of the younger guys in the draft.
3) OK size at 6'0 183.

Reading the HockeyProspect website and draft guide, they seem to like the kid, even if they don't rate him in a way that matches their narrative.

Stepped up with extra ice time available in the absence of Jonathan Dahlen at the end of the year and provided 3 goals high up the lineup in the Allsvenskan. Caught one of the games and he looked really good and quite dangerous. Worth a middle round shot and placed at 63 on my rankings.

In terms of his playing style he replaced Dahlen on the 1st line in left wing and got PP1 time where he scored 3 goals in two games and looked dangerous. Quick acceleration and can pick out nice passes b it is clearly looking to score when he can. Not noticeably fast but gets to top speed quickly.

7pts in 3 games to start off the season for Timra’s u20 team.
Should be up with the big club.

Makes things happen. Given the time missed last year, a few more games in the J20 league is fine, but I would like to see him up in the SHL to see how he does at that level.

Was he injured? Was it serious? Sorry for my lack of understanding.

I believe he was referring to Covid
