I've no problem acquiring OEL, my only problem is I don't remember him ever playing RD, we have Hanifin/Gio/Valimaki on the left side, and we already have a bit of money tied to D.
Move one of Giordano/Hanifin and there is now a need to acquire OEL.
Your top 4 in the future should either have the LD side as OEL/Valimaki or Hanifin/Valimaki. Doesn't make sense to acquire another D when offense has always been Calgary's main issue.
