Here he had 27 points in 21 games which is admirable. He has also been representing Denmark at three different world championships throughout the season. A feat that shows he can be relied on in multiple situations and in both ends of the ice.
One of the smarest players of the 2023 NHL Draft is Oscar Fisker Mølgaard, who has shown a mature respondsable 200 foot game in the SHL.
