And the Oilers Draft ... Taylor Hall

Congratulations to the Oilers who have drafted Taylor Hall.

Taylor Hall will play immediately and the Oilers are super excited to have him and Hall is super excited to be an Oiler.

This situation suits a player like Hall perfectly. As a big time, big game player who excels in high pressure situations, playing in Edmonton on a rebuilding team where you'll be the key to the future is a scenario that will test Hall's ability to do what he's known for. My guess is that Hall will do just fine.

This is a huge day for the Edmonton Oilers franchise and Edmonton fans can rest well knowing with Eberle, Paajarvi, Hall, Gagner, and other young stars, the future is bright.
