If You Could Go Back In Time...

The Tyler Seguin show was in full effect last night as you might be able to say he single handedly gave Boston their first win of the best of seven series against the Tampa Bay Lighting last night. With 2 points in his first NHL post season game and then to back it up with 4 more points (2goals and 2 assists), he is really starting to show the dominant player he can be in the future. With the Edmonton Oilers not even making the post season and 2010 First Overall Pick Taylor Hall finishing with 42 points in his first season, do you think the Oilers are kicking themselves thinking maybe it should of been Tyler instead of Taylor? Or maybe, should they of went with the Rookie of The Year candidate Jeff Skinner who was a 50+ goal juggernaut in his last season of junior hockey... all these questions are debatable so id like to hear what you think about after almost a full NHL season who you would of picked if you where the Oilers.

  4. I would still take Taylor, he is the better player. Not his fault that he is on a crap team, Tyler got drafted to a contender. Its the way of the road.
