A large defensive minded defenseman. Ollas Mattsson plays a fairly simple and smart game, using his great reach to his advantage. Is a consistent player that will be mostly recognized for his solid defensive play in the future. Can work some on his mobility. (EP 2014)

Get Backlund to give him a call.

From FC:
Quote:
195
ADAM OLLAS MATTSSON POSITION: Defense
SHOOTS: Left
TEAM: Djurgarden (SuperElit) BORN: July 30, 1996
VITALS: 6’-4” / 210 Lbs
STATS: 33 GP 1 G 8 A 9 PTS 42 PIM
SCOUTING REPORT: A big, defensive-minded blueliner. Makes some questionable deci- sions with the puck, mixed with good positioning and good hockey sense away from the puck. Skating is not a department he stands out in, but he has great balance that he uses to his ad- vantage during board play and in his hits. Delivers some heavy hits in open ice, and tries to be a force and take charge of the play. He can chase after hits a bit too much. Mattsson likes to step up in the offensive zone, but his puck-handling and distribution skills are below average. Does a good job getting the puck up ice with simple breakout passes. Very good posture and build, physically dominant. Good nerves, doesn’t looked stressed when put under pressure with the puck and can make smart, simple decisions. Has inconsistency in his defensive game that he will need to improve as he can be impossible to beat one minute and then, the next minute, can be a pylon in the corner while the action is out in front. Valuable player down low, but doesn’t stand out as a player who excels defensively in any other department than physical play. He’ll have a hard time producing points and should start working on making his defensive game more complete.
NHL POTENTIAL: Bottom-Pairing Physical Defenseman

Powerplay Quarterback

You've gotta be happy with a pick like this.
If we drafted him with the third and traded this pick for Bollig I don't think anyone would have a problem with that.

Nice, I like this one. Left shooter but does address a need. I watched a few of his highlights thinking we might grab him with the Colorado pick.
