If they get merged I believe it automatically puts as the OP whichever one came first

Maybe lock the other one? So nobody can bump it accidentally.

We just stick with two threads.

We truly have no other choice…

His acceleration out of his crossovers is a little bit like Byram. Nice edges too.

He’s a real good skater for his size. He’s not a super fast guy, but technical and strong.

Posting this in the real thread now

I like this pick, no need to rush him and have him turn into the next Kaut.

He's a lot of things I like in a prospect, good skater, smart, skilled as well.

Let's put this bad boy in the slow cooker for 3 seasons and see what comes out.​

A comparison of Olausson's PPG in the J20 Nationell compared to other recent notable forward prospects since 2011. All of them are in their draft years unless otherwise stated.

 

[Perratrooper]

He’s clearly to good to be in the U-20 league, he better get a legitimate shot on the top team even if relegated.

Yeah that's why he got promoted. His season was split between the J20 and SHL leagues.

It was my understanding he got demoted, my bad

 

[Belgican]

His team has been relegated

Not necessarily a negative. Seems he's too good for u20, but not there for the Elite league yet. Might be a good fit.

I was answering Perratrooper who thought he had been demoted

So the opposite of Rantanen

 

[Freudian]

Playing tier 1 hockey in Sweden should be good for his development unless Avs try to coax him into playing junior hockey in Canada.

Joe just likes his wrister.

He did just score.

 

[Papa Francouz]

That is such a Burky goal.

I like that the Avs went with high skill here. They needed a pure shooter type in the system.

Also great to see the Avs starting to take Europe more seriously.

He also seems to have some dangle in him. I like the way he cut into the middle off the wall on that shift video. I wonder why he wears #21?

I am hoping for it, but the dude was born late in 2002, I think the days of prospect growing up watching Forsberg are gone.

Is this beer league?

Probably still watched old videos though. Sweden didn't always show the NHL games right?
