C/W Filip Hållander (2018, 58th, PIT, traded to TOR, traded to PIT)

Olofsson is also bigger and has a better shot/quicker release

I don't consider small size differences when evaluating players, and it's not like Jacob is more physically effective than Filip anyways. That leaves his shot and maybe it's a little bit better, but a shot just needs to be good enough. That was the only thing I had reservations about with Filip, but he managed to convince me. He can snipe.

f**k, not good us

Bummer, hoping the wings take him with the Vegas pick. Seeing him wear 91 in red flying down the ice just looks right

He's a winger which is less valuable than centers. His skating also isn't all that great and personally I don't see super high-end offensive upside in him.

There's a lot to like about Olofsson. Good size, plays center, responsible defensively, great skater, good shot, smart. I kinda feel like Olofsson is both a safer pick than Hållander while also having higher upside.

I'm confused on your assessment on Hallander's skating. You started the thread by saying "Average-sized winger with above-average skating" and then a few months later you suggest that he hasn't been getting noticed more because "his skating isn't all that great"....

Maybe I have a different definition on "above-average" than you/others do. Above-average to me is what it says, better than average but still not considered "good", "great" or "exceptional". I guess I could substitute "above-average" for "decent", those have pretty much the same meaning to me.

This is good, nice work. Keep it up!

I think he's got a shot at being a 2C in the NHL.

 

[rickardr]

Measured in at nearly 6-foot-2 at the Combine.

It bothers me to no end that they always type å as a instead of o. It's just an o that's riding on top of an a, but the a doesn't really matter there.

Hollander is so much better.

 

[Tripod]

He will be a steal....saying this as a Flyers fan.

No 1st rnd pick..so sign the 2nd lol

Teams sign picks from later rounds whether they had a 1st or not. The Isles had 2 picks in the 1st round this year and still signed their 3rd round pick to a contract:

First SHL goal and GWG

Eliteprospects says he's on loan yet , he's on the same club he's been on most if not all his life?

Since he's Penguins "property" now, he's on loan from Pittsburgh to Timrå.

 

[Johnny Danger]

3 assists tonight ...

 

[rickardr]

7G + 13A, 20 points in 41 SHL games, -4 in the worst SHL team this season by far, he is having a great season.

 

[Kipper933]

Hallander has gone beast mode in the relegation playoffs. He has 5 goals and 8 points through 5 games and creating multiple chances a game.

Timrå relegated to Allsvenskan, so where does he play next season? Would have liked to see him in the SHL for one more season, but that's less likely now.
