Niklas Aaram-Olsen's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "Aaram-Olsen has left a lot to be desired, and scouts have knocked him for having a lack of high-end tools outside of his shot. If he can play with more pace and learn to dominate play through the middle, he could be a good snag. I like the upside, even if some scouts aren’t as convinced."

Dauton Reimer - The Hockey Writers - March 25th: "Another hard-working, two-way forward, Niklas Aaram-Olsen can zip around the ice effortlessly. He’s a great skater and can move around the offensive zone well, looking for scoring opportunities or passing lanes. He contributes to the forecheck and backcheck, as well, using his speed and agility to close gaps quickly."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "He’s a dangerous scorer and shooter who picks corners and beats goalies from mid-range with his heavy snapper or curl-and-drag wrister. He can threaten as a shooter from the bumper or the flank on the power play because he’s also got a hard one-touch shot and one-timer (a go-to weapon for him)."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 17th: "Aaram-Olsen has been rewarded with some spot duty at the top pro level in Sweden (the SHL), but has yet to find his range offensively. He needs time, but projects as a potential middle-six goal scorer at the NHL level. The bulk of his ice time will likely always come at even strength and on the power play."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - March 13th: "Against men, though. Aaram-Olsen has left a lot to be desired, and scouts have knocked him for having a lack of high-end tools outside of his shot. If he can play with more pace and learn to dominate play through the middle, he could be a good snag. I like the upside, even if some scouts aren’t as convinced."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - March 10th: "He’s constantly powering through defenders, attacking the middle of the ice off the rush and showing great anticipation to pounce on turnovers and strike quickly in transition. He has a lethal shot and powerful one-timer, making him a goal-scoring threat from far out or even in tight, possessing the skill and control to get there."

Smaht Scouting - February 27th: "He’s a powerful skater and shows no hesitation in carrying the offensive load for his team. He makes himself available, demands the puck, and consistently works his way into scoring areas. He’s particularly dangerous from the circles, with a quick release and strong finishing ability. "
