Is OEL really worse defensively than Hamilton? I guess I consider him a more accomplished defenseman than Hamilton across the board but admittedly I haven't seen him play a ton. I am all for a trade that upgrades your elite talent and although I am in no way dying to trade Hamilton, I am not sure he becomes the stud defenseman you build around. Maybe that's not OEL either. But if he is, makes it easier to trade Brodie for forward help.
