Doesn't take much of a hockey scout to see that the upside of Ollas Mattsson doesn't match either of Andersson or Kylington.

Could have more to do with the way he plays (need more physical players to compliment other finesse defensemen) or the politics of OM staying home while Andersson and Kylington have taken different routes (Kylington a young pro then AHL, Andersson OHL).

Or ... maybe it's the documented attitude of Kylington and conditioning of Andersson.

Hard to say.

But OM is a stay at home 5/7 projection blueliner
