Surprisingly low attention for Oliver on this board. Yesterday he got 3 goals against Britain. Ofc one of the easiest opposition in tournament, but I think he has been really good in every game so far (WC and practice games preceding WC).
He has good hockey iq, not top tier but most definitely good enough for NHL level. His skating is good, his shot is good, smooth hands, and uses his body well. He is responsible to follow team's tactic, not a liability defensively. His play style is straight-forward, which I think is well suited for modern NHL.
He was maybe the hottest forward in recent SM-Liiga playoffs, I think he has progressed really well this season. I reckon he could play as winger in the NHL, his style is not "pure C". I think he can be a top6 player in Montreal. Almost guaranteed 3rd line complimentary C/W in my opinion.
He signed a contract with SHL's Timrå, where his father is working as a sports director. I'm excited to see what he can do there, considering it is a bit harder league in my opinion.
