Oscar Dansk Top 3 European Goalies for 2012 NHL Entry Draft
2. Oscar Dansk, Brynas Jr. (SWE-JR.): The Stockholm native, who actually spent three seasons at Minnesota prep powerhouse Shattuck-St. Mary’s, might be the next great puck-controlling goalie to enter the NHL.
“I watched a lot of Marty Turco when I was younger and picked up a lot of my ability to control the puck outside the crease from watching him,” Dansk said.
His confidence is unrivaled, and he’s a proven winner on an international scale. In addition to notching one assist for silver-medal winning Sweden at the 2012 Under-18 World Championship in April, Dansk was named one of the team’s top players after finishing 4-1 with a 1.98 GAA and .937 save percentage in five games.
“He covers a lot of the net when in butterfly, recovers quickly, is athletic, focused and competitive,” Stubb told NHL.com. “His angles and positional game are excellent, he’s good at controlling rebounds, and always seems ready for the next shot.”
