2014-2015: AIK - Allsvenskan

Started on Sodertalje junior team in 2012, moved to Farjestad J20, was good enough there in 13/14 that he was promoted to their top tier team. Last season started on Farjestad top league team but struggled and was demoted to the junior team, but then was loaned to AIK in the Swedish second division.

So worked his way up to the top league in his 16 year old season (leading to him ranked as a top 5 pick), then struggled and fell back down the charts in his pre-draft season (leading to him falling to 60).
Yeah, this looks about right.

One thing that can be added is the comment by AIK's GM when they signed him to a two-year contract now this summer. It sounds like they know what he needs moving forward:

"Oliver is an amazing talent who needs playing time in order to develop. He has already had time to impress both in SHL and Allsvenskan. But like with all other players in this age it goes up and down and therefore it is important with stability and continuity. AIK can offer the playing time and security that is needed for his development to continue in the right direction." - Anders Gozzi
