Sabres pick !!!!
- cabin

sabres suck...they should relocated to phoenix after the coyotes leave...

You are 100% right about the difference between playing in the O instead of the show, but when Bobby Orr wants to be the kids agent, and Crosby is already talking about how he's better than he was at his age... It's definitely ok to get excited as a Hockey fan for the next generation of greatness...injury pending
- sudburyboy

yeah i can definitely agree with getting in on the excitement of it all, by all means i'm sure he'll be a great player! I'm just cautious these days.

Hall 50 Points in 45 games 3rd year
Tavares 47 in 48 gp 4th year
- Oilers42

Tavares 28 goals. Hall 16.

Yes hall was better this year so what the hell were you smoking
- Oilers42

Definitely wasn't better than Tavares at hockey that's for sure. Tavares single handedly carried his team to the playoffs. If he was playing with Eberle he would have doubled Hall in points lollll.

PS: Why wasn't Hall nominated for MVP btw? Tavares was.

I have. Watch an Oilers game. Hall dominates every shift he plays.

Eklund: McDavid Hype Already Building... 2 Years Ahead of Draft Eligibility
- Eklund

Can you just imagine how good he would be if he was American?

i think these days no matter how dominant you are in juniors, one should never assume because once you understand the difference in playing vs 220lbs+, 6'4+ Dmen who can skate and have their own significant skill it no longer simply comes down to skill even if your skill level is incredible

it has become pretty impossible to predict who will become a superstar (or if your success will for sure translate at the pro level), nevermind the likes of Crosby or Gretzky, until we ACTUALLY see them in the league
- sojiro9

not trying to disagree at all... but isn't it interesting that there is so much interest in this kid, who's arguably playing in the toughest/best junior league on the planet yet there was shock and surprise because Seth Jones was not selected first overall?

Eklund: McDavid Hype Already Building... 2 Years Ahead of Draft Eligibility
- Eklund

Some other players who generated similar interest well before they were eligible to be drafted were:

Bobby Orr
Denis Potvin
Wayne Gretzky (there was so much hype, he was signed in the WHA at age 17!)
Mario Lemieux

If this kid is anywhere near any of the above, some team is going to be VERY happy!

Canada canada canada!!! Hope he goes to a canadian team...!
- munky123

he wont

No I'm pretty sure that he's going to a canadian team enough stanley cups have been won by canadian players on american teams... (frank)ing annyoing!! Wouldn't mind seeing the flames have a chance at a franchise player.

you racist against the USA or something??

Laughs, thats not true and you know it, I been watching both teams on my NHL package..not a chance Hall is as dominant as Tavares

Pay more attention this season.

Lollll coool story. Difference is, if Tavares is an Oiler, you're a playoff team, but he isn't and you're not. Not a fan anywhere outside of Edmonton says "i'd rather have Hall" and thats a fact. You'll see with the defining roles on the Olympic team, just how close Tavares is to being the best in the world. He's among the best, Halls not even close, at least at this point.

Let's see what happens after this season.

And no... The Oilers would not have been a playoff team this season with Tavares. Hall had a better season.
