The Edmonton Journal points out how little media exposure Phoenix Coyotes defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson receives, relative to his vast talent.

Coyotes captain Shane Doan: "It seems like blasphemy to compare anybody to Lidstrom because he's so special," Doan said. "By no means would I do that, and most people are quantifying that, but Oliver? Yeah, he is special, too."

"I remember when he was drafted (2009, the year the New York Islanders took John Tavares No. 1) … you have to give our scout Christian Ruuttu so much credit. He went on and on about Oliver. He said he might take him first overall (he went No. 6). He said he knew how good Tavares was and how good (second pick fellow Swede Victor) Hedman was, but five years from now, he said he'd argue that Oliver was the best player in that draft.

"He was right."
