I won't share the charts here because they are behind a paywall, but if you subscribe to Evolving Hockey just take a look at OEL's RAPM chart compared to Hedman's.
Hedman provides an elite boost to Tampa's offence when he is on the ice and also provides solid defence and possession.
OEL on the other hand basically drags the Coyotes down in every category. A sign that he shouldn't be on the top pairing.
