The golden cage, awarded to the best junior player in HockeyAllsvenskan (Sweden’s second division) was awarded to Jacob Olofsson this season as he beat out teammates Jonathan Dahlén and Filip Hallander in the process.
In Allsvenskan, he put up 21 points (10G, 11A) over 43 games. A good comparison in this case would be Filip Forsberg, who scored 17 points (8G, 9A) in 43 games of his draft season for Leksand in the same competition.
If that wasn’t enough to gain the interest of NHL scouts and GMs, Olofsson played both with Sweden’s U18 and U20 team this season.
