I love how being compared to DLR is spoken of as if it is a bad thing. DLR is an NHL center. Very young.
To get that in the 2nd round is never a guarantee. Actually look at Lehkonen and DLR out of their 2nd round class and they are two of the better choices.
If Olofsson can be as good as DLR, if not better than it is a good pick. I don't understand the DLR hate I like his game. He plays a simple game but can skate well for a man his size and actually showed some offensive upside when given the opportunity with Galchenyuk last season.
From my number crunching, there is about just over a 20% chance ( based on 6 drafts between 2003-2008 ) that a player drafted as a C in the 2nd round becomes a top 6C ( typically a 2C ). So the odds are not good of any particular player being that guy. But TT needs to hit it every now and then.
