Talent Analysis
The 6-3, 195-lb forward loves to hit and has the size to make it hurt. Oslund has skill to add to the mix as well. Though he is still a raw talent, and needs to work on stick skills and puck control, his skating is excellent and his size and competitive nature make a formidable opponent.
Oslund is a raw talent and the Red Wings consider him a long-term project. He is a punishing forward and is strong and quick on his skates. Oslund is a potential third or fourth line role player in the NHL.
