Fantasy Summary

Speedy, intelligent two-way forward with forechecking skill and a projectable frame. Offensive upside is limited, but has a safe floor as a bottom-six Swiss Army knife.

October 2024 – Josephson is showing signs of a developing offensive game in the WHL, growing his offensive output to 12 goals, 35 assists and 47 points in 68 games in 2023-24. He could have some relevance in leagues with peripherals, but as of present, doesn’t project to be a player to provide much offense to your fantasy squad. Ale Wyatt

 

July 2024 – Josephson was selected 105th overall by the Seattle Kraken. Mark Henry

 

April 2024 – Ollie Josephson is a bet on a guy who does a lot of things right. He plays with pace and is a strong forechecker and in-zone defender, an effective transition player, a solid playmaker, and takes high-quality shots. Even if the production doesn’t come, its not unrealistic to expect Josephson to develop into an effective, high-energy bottom-six driver at higher levels. Luke Sweeney
