I want to know which defensmen do you each think are comparable to OEL?
Below are a few articles from the past year or or so that ranks the NHL's best dmen. Some people are extremely high on OEL (because fancy stats) and others more reserved. Personally I'm somewhere in the middle (although I'd definitely say he's top 15) but really I'm not all that concerned with his rank, I just linked these articles as a way to reference the company he usually keeps when comparing #1 dmen.
