Here's a quick corsi stat description and a link for part way thru March of this past year.
Jeff Petry is the 5th best dman in the NHL and Ryan Suter is the 201st best dman

Peter Harrold is better than Shea Weber

The thing I am worried about is how good will the Oilers defence be this year

Petry - 5th best in the NHL
Fayne - 28th best in the NHL
Marincin - 41st best in the NHL
Nikitin - 59th best in the NHL

When you have 4 dmen in the top 60 in the entire NHL you are stacked. That is a sick top 4 to be able to roll out against anyone.

Looking at the top 100 on that list it seems like there are some good players and some awful players. I do not think there is a single hockey person who would put any of those Oiler dmen in the top 60 dmen in the league.
