Oel is as close as theyve had in a decade. Hughes will never be a #1. Been saying it since day 1, hes basically a small shifty forward playing on the defense. Hes not able to handle the physicality of the opposition and it gets proven game in and game out. And if ppl think he can make some adjustments as far as using his stick to keep opposing forwards at bay, you are kidding yourself. Forwards are getting stronger and more skilled by the year.
