If someone told me:

The fact its referring to the player selected 1 pick after Mcavi makes me happy in the same way driving by myself for the first time after getting my drivers license when i was 16 did.

Hall’s agent was on Vancouver radio yesterday and he mentioned that there were a couple of teams offering Hall the $8 million range on long term deals but had to make some trades to clear space. I immediately thought of the Flames.
But then he said later that Hall wanted to finally play with an elite centre and thought, well that wouldn’t be Calgary, so maybe it was edmonton.
I can definitely see the Oilers “frantically” trying to make room for Hall thinking that more scoring is what they need.
