Draft Update: Taylor Hall

Although most Oiler fans seem to be leaning toward Tyler Seguin as the #1 choice in this summer’s entry draft, Taylor Hall is most certainly in the conversation. A recent tsn article had some nice quotes from the kid, including this gem:

• “Whether I go one or two, it doesn’t matter to me,” he explained. “But hopefully through these playoffs I’ll be able to show Edmonton that I’m their guy and I can go number one.”

I know that these kids are trained to say the right thing, but it is still nice to hear an elite talent mention the Oilers in a positive fashion.
