JACOB OLOFSSON - Center - 18 - Drafted 2018 #56 Overall
LAST UPDATED 12/15/18
Olofsson is a defensively strong, offensively developing Swedish center. He's a good skater and has decent top-end speed, but nothing overwhelming. He's not a purely physical player, and instead uses his instincts and his positioning to complement strong defensive stick work to kill chances in his own end. His offense is still being worked on, but his upside is probably as a good shutdown 3C who can kill penalties on the first unit, stylistically somewhat similar to Lars Eller of the Capitals. Given that he is already playing for Timra in the Swedish Elite League, it looks like he is only a few more years from the NHL and being a steady presence down the middle for Montreal.
