2021 NHL Draft: Oskar Olausson does one thing well, he scores goals

Minnesota Wild fans have been shouting it loud and clear for what seems like decades: “Enough two-way centers, enough defenseman... GIVE US A PLAYER THAT CAN SCORE GOALS!” If that’s the ask, look no further than Stockholm’s Oskar Olausson for one of the Wild’s two first-round selections.

Position: LW/RW

Date of Birth: November 10, 2002

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 181 lbs

Just don’t expect him to do much else — at least, for now.

Scouts absolutely love the 6-foot-2, 181-pound forward’s skillset that allows him to introduce biscuit to basket.
