The Fall for Hall
So now that I’ve got this fancy new iPhone I guess there’s no excuse to neglect my blog anymore?
So it’s been official for a few weeks now, Taylor Hall went first overall and has now signed his first NHL contract. A 3 year deal worth up to 3.75 million dollars with the bonuses worked in. Not bad for an 18 year old who has yet to play 1 game as a pro. I have to say, I am stoked! I feel as though this is the start of something big for the Oilers. I am always excited about an upcoming season, but this one is different. We are doing what we should have done 10 years ago, if not at least 3 or 4 years ago. Rebuild it through the draft and stop chasing over priced UFA’s.
For the first time since Doug Weight, do I really feel like putting a name and number on the back of a new Oilers jersey. Of course we need to know what digits he decides to wear.
On behalf Off the Post, welcome to the Oilers Taylor. I look forward to many years of writing about you!
