They can't market OEL? He's probably a top 5-10 dman, maybe higher, in the whole league.
This whole "franchise" player is such a stupid term. Same with "generational talent". Just silly buzzwords to try and augment the value of someone's argument for or against player x.
Arizona actually has some solid young players, and have a "franchise" defenseman in OEL, their arrow is pointing up, and they'll add to it again this draft.
