Hockey Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He goes by his initials, ‘OEL.’
    He spent the majority of his career on a Coyotes team that was buried in mediocrity.
    He was grossly overpaid by the Coyotes, despite the fact he didn’t win any individual awards nor receive any accolades by hockey pundits.
    He was acquired by the Canucks in a move by GM Jim Benning that was seen as being sheer desperation to save his job.
    The deal gradually looked worse over time after both his play and stats regressed considerably following the trade, justifying his label as being overpaid and underachieving by hockey pundits.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the first Swedish-born defenseman in NHL history to record 20+ goals in a season.
    He scored the fastest goal to start a period in an NHL game (five seconds in the 3rd; January 29, 2015).
    He was Shane Doan‘s successor as the Coyotes team captain.
    He was the second defenseman in the history of the Winnipeg/Phoenix franchise to record 20 goals in a season.
    He donated his time to various charitable causes that benefitted children in his spare time.
