With the 74th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Ottawa Senators once again went way off the board, selecting Swedish left winger (and sometimes centre?) Oliver Johansson.
Johansson played just 15 games in three different leagues in Sweden last year. He’s also only 17, and a bit on the small side relative to the other players the Sens have been drafting, at 6’0 and 183 pounds. It’s hard to know much about the kid with so little information to go off of, but hopefully Ottawa’s scouts know something that other teams don’t. They seem to be targeting players that may have been overlooked by other teams.
