This week's image, while frustratingly small, depicts Taylor Hall donning his ceremonial jersey and hat after being selected #1 overall by the Edmonton Oilers in Friday's NHL Draft. Hall has an impressive resume from his time in juniors. As a member of the Windsor Spitfires, Hall has captured two Memorial Cup titles, earning MVP honors both years. He represented Canada at the World Junior Championships, scoring once and adding two assists in the Canucks' overtime loss to the Americans in the Gold Medal game.
Having nothing left to prove in juniors, Hall turns his focus to the NHL. Assuming he makes the team, he should be able to step in and contribute to an Oilers squad that finished dead-last with just 62 points, twelve behind the 29th ranked Maple Leafs and barely over half of the President Trophy winning Capitals. He already has Oilers fans thrilled, despite rooting for the rival Calgary Flames as a youth.
