23rd on our 2021 Draft Rankings is Olen Zellweger. ———————————————————————— Height - 5’ 10” Weight - 174 lbs ———————————————————————— Statistics: 11 Games, 2 Goals, 13 Points ———————————————————————— Projection: Top-Four Defenseman Risk: Medium Timeline: 3-4 Years Comparison: Matt Grzelcyk ———————————————————————— Scouting Report: Zellweger is yet another modern-day defenseman whose game will translate to the NHL level well. He’s an extremely smooth skater, and calm puck-mover who makes good decisions under pressure. Unfortunately he only got to play 11 games in the WHL, but he was one of Canada’s best defenseman at the Under-18s, and he is going to be one of the youngest players to be drafted. He is very undersized, but he’s strong for his size, and is an overall smart defender, and uses his great skating to create good gaps. Zellweger is on a big upward trajectory, and has the skills to continue on that train upwards. ———————————————————————— #NHLDiscussion #Zellweger
