Swedish club Brynäs has shown strong interest in 23-year-old forward Oskar Olausson, according to Expressen. The player, who has struggled for ice time in North America, is being shopped widely on the market. A return to HV71, his former club, is not considered certain.
Oskar Olausson spent four seasons in North America, including three years with the Colorado Avalanche organization where he made limited NHL appearances each year. This past winter, he was with the Minnesota Wild but played only in their farm team. Now, reports indicate he is available and attracting attention back home in Sweden. Expressen reports that Brynäs is among the clubs pursuing him aggressively, despite his background with HV71. The timing aligns with changes at Brynäs, as veteran forward Greg Scott departs after ten seasons with the club. Forward spots are limited, but Olausson could step in as a replacement for Jack Kopacka, who will not return next season. Officials at Brynäs have not commented publicly on the interest.
