I have said for a long time that I think he will be the best defenseman of his draft class, and possibly the best player period.
He is
exactly what the Oilers needed and they could have gotten a really good asset along with him for Yakupov (by trading the 1st pick for a pick in the 4 to 8 range).
I am so glad that they stuck with the Yak.
