When you have the regional scout in disbelief that you are still on the board when the team picks you, that’s normally a good sign and that was the case for Montreal Canadiens second-round pick Jacob Olofsson.
With the third of their four second-round picks (before the fourth was traded), the Canadiens took the 6’3”, 190lbs centre and he was one of the more impressive players at the team’s development camp, even scoring the camp’s first goal.
“I felt like coming into the camp there were a lot of good players here but I felt confidence, I felt good in my legs so it felt good,” Olofsson said.
