I've seen him listed as a potential first round pick, but couldn't find a thread on him. Can someone tell me more about him?

Good start in SuperElit.

Good start in SuperElit.

Looks to have an impressive set of skills, how’s his hockey sense?

Been a big fan of Olausson the past two seasons. Got all the tools to become a really, really good player.

It's alright.

He's got good size and great speed, and his wrist shot accuracy is out of this world. Does a great job carrying the puck in transition and can skate circles with it in the offensive zone. At this point he's a pure scoring winger, but there's definitely more there.

 

[Killerjas]

Reminds me of Holtz, also a pure goal scorer

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hmm, I'm gonna have to look into him. That's some nice shooting and skating,

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Good start in SuperElit.

There’s not a goalie in the NHL that would’ve stopped that shot.

Will debut in the SHL today.

No way this guy isn't a first rounder. Could push for a top 10 spot if he keeps going.

Agree. You'll never find a player with his size, explosiveness, hands and shot outside the 1st round. He needs to share the puck a bit more but I don't really see anything major to worry about in his game either.

 

[Zaddy]

Deadly goal-scorer.

 

[theslatcher]

His first SHL goal, easier goals he'll have to search hard for.

Very impressive skater. Looked like MacKinnon on that play.

Nice goal, but damn... defender pulled a Steven Gerrard there lmao

Well, Linköping probably wants to forget the last couple of minutes in that period. They missed two empty netters from close range moments before Olaussons goal too.

Scouting Report: Oskar Olausson - Smaht Scouting

 

[BKarchitect]

Will be interesting to see where Eklund, Lysell and Olausson all go - they all look like they could be pretty high end first rounders. Eklund’s got the most proven track record, Lysell’s got the flash but is the youngest and has yet to establish himself in the SHL while Olausson from these clips honestly looks to have the best combination of skill and size.

Any Swede or prospect followers care to order those three in terms of preference for the NHL? Lysell started the season with the most fanfare it seems but the other two have got to be big risers based on their play recently.

Are we seeing a shift in draft position? Playing against older players in Europe and US college seems to be an important factor, especially when guys are compared to those playing in the CHL.
