I think Talent wise............people mis-evaluate OEL
When Hughes was hurt, OEL ran the PP very well, and he was a +5. and would have been even better had we had a better start to the season.........IMO, OEL is better than Provorov, but his age is worse.
which is why I added Hayes, and sent him to Boston. OEL helps any team he is on...........guaranteed. He would be a good fit in LA.
and just for reference......Edler and Doughty both are playing well, well into the 30"s. OEL is better than Edler. Quite a bit better. OEL is a solid 2/3.
