| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Very solid and steady. Makes very few mistakes and
moves the puck efficiently out of the zone. Crisp passer, but at times
gets himself in trouble overhandling the puck. Has a nice package of
size and strength that he uses to full advantage, and is also quite
mobile. Shows a heavy point shot as triggerman on the PP, keeping it low
and on net. Physical in the battle areas." "A good skater with good awareness in both zones,
Olsen is a reliable and supportive blueliner who can also pack some
offensive punch. Not a tremendous puck rusher, he has a good shot and
good vision with the puck when "He's a complete player who has some bite to his
game, which makes him a little more attractive than some of the other
prospects with the same skill set." |
