74 year old Ducks Head Scout Ronald McCleary had this to say about Anton Olsson, selected 54th overall and was the Ducks only pick:
"With only one pick in the draft, we had to make sure we absolutely nailed it. And I had Owen Power neck and neck with Olsson. I mean, I'm not sure how this guy fell out of the Top 10, let alone to 54th pick. I got to have a nap before we made our selection and was shocked at who was sitting there!
I don't have my reading glasses on but Olsson at 7'1, moves incredibly well and transitions better than most forwards. He's going to be an absolute stud for our team. Hell, I could see him supplanting Provorov as our #1 dman next year."
