Comparing Larsson to Engelland is kind of crazy, considering the role responsibility is completely different. Its more logical to compare Larsson to probably Gio or Brodie if your basing things on a 20 + minute a game defenseman. And BTW hits are such a silly subjective stat.

agree that hits is subjective.... but look and rank who is the tougher defenseman Engelland, Brodie or Gio..... just happens to have a high correlation with hits.
Trying to make a more valid comparison ... Larsson is the closest thing to a 23 year old Regher that either the Oilers or Flames have had since 2004.
If we had Larrson he would almost always be on the Ice when Lucic was on.
He will get a lot of ice against Brouwer-Bennett-Tkachuk.
