With their third round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, the Rangers took forward Oliver Tarnstrom. This pick was acquired in the Mats Zuccarello trade. Tarnstrom was ranked as the #47 Euro skater by the NHL, up from #100 at the midterm rankings. The scouting report on Oliver Tarnstrom is a very skilled forward who needs time to mature and develop physically.
This season, the big winger put up 11-23-34 in 41 games with AIK in Sweden’s J20 league. He bypassed Sweden’s U18 league and went straight for the next level as a 17 year old.
