Is this good
Was a first round pick in 2021. He’s also had moderate success in the AHL.
Certainly one of the trades in the history of our great sport
Anyone named Oskar is an automatic win
CUP BOUND
…. … …….. (does anyone know who these guys are?)
But is he a first line center
A guy I don’t know for a guy I didn’t know we had. Deal. 🫱🏼🫲🏽
Olausson’s skating posture allows him to effortless manoeuvre through opponents with his top hand in full control, pushed out from his body. You’ll rarely see Olausson attempt the same neutral zone rush twice in the same game. He’ll cross the dotted line, change lanes and speed, and work well-timed weight shifts as a puck-carrier to get past the defender opposite him. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
Masters was a solid defenseman, but at best projects as a 5th defenseman behind Fabes, Jiri, Lambos and Zeev.
If Judd sees something in Oskar I trust him
AHL’ers getting a fresh sheet to play on. At this point, of the Iowa defensive corps, all you can hope for is some trade value as extra player(s) over a pick in trades.
Hold on this Olausson guy has good potential in the NHL games
On one hand, I feel like we’ve been waiting for Masters to breakout forever, on the other hand maybe he’ll actually have a chance to make a name for himself in SJ. I am whelmed.
Can he score during 5 on 5?
