Olofsson has no problem scoring the goals but has no interest in backchecking or even skating into his own end to help defend.
Olofsson defensive acumen is nonexistent, no effort on defense.
This is just not true at all.
Olofsson works hard, and he is always trying, he just is completely lost in Granatos loose system that requires the forwards to read the ice and their linemates and react accordingly. No one has a set job, and the players are either responsible for center defensive duties or f1 forecheching duties depending on where on the ice they are in regards to the puck.
Olofsson struggles with the reads and finding chemistry with his linemates. He is always skating and back checking, but often misses his assignments, double teaming the puck or not effectively switching assignments when the situation calls for it.
He is not physical at all, so he does not win a lot of puck battles, but he has a quick stick and can strip the puck from puck carriers.
He will give you a solid effort, but he needs structure and a clear job to do on the ice. He is poor at improvising and adjusting on the fly.
He will score 20 goals with his eyes closed though, one of the best shooters in the league. Picks his spots, rings a lot of posts or just misses wide, but rarely hits the goalie with any of his shots.
