Haha, Its more a joke than anything. But ive always liked Seguins play better than Hall.

Seguin had fewer shots due to being on the 3rd line with limited play. I believe it was almost 50 shots less. TOI is a tough stat to find from the NHL. But Seguins real play was noted in accounting for almost %70 of his teams scoring in the OHL.

I cant argue that both are talented, far more talented being they will make a few million next season off of playing hockey while still being under 20, and ill still be turning wrenchs at 26 haha.. ya life.

I am oposite, when people were speculating oilers might take seguin, I was saying "I sure hope not" as seguin was more specilized that hall IMO, and the oilers didn't need another high asisting winger, they needed a in your face power forward who scores, which Hall was more suited for. as for TOI, Halls was an average of over 18min a game so ya he was on the ice a lot, and I don't think Seguin could average thoes kind of numbers yet.

this year (7 days and counting to be exact ) I am going against the mock draft and hoping they pick Adam Larson, and not ryan nugent-hopkins or what ever it is. they don't need another forward at all anymore. they have more firepower potential than any team in the NHL at this point, for there second pick I am hoping for another one of the bigger d's but at 19 I don't think there will be any left. so if not a second promising D then maybe look at one of the gibsons. very promising goalies. at any rate they need to do something with goalies.. fire Habby, bring up Gerber or get a younger deicent guy till dubnick has had another year or two to be ready.

I still think you will trade away Draft Pick #1 for something like the senators did last year in aquiring David Rundblad (however you spell it) but drafting d-men is so time consuming, where like we did, we took a almost ready d-man and traded the 1st away for him to a team that needed first round forwards. To our winning pick, Mr. Rundblad is the Swede elite league d-man player of the year and 5th on the top point getters for the whole league. So thats kinda what I hope they might do, and the tsn crew seems to think thats what they might do too. With that trade we will have Karlsson and Rundblad this year along with our already developed D-core Phillips, Gonchar, Kuba and Carkner.

Your right, Hall is more in your face, and drafting seguin would be like drafting a second Jordan Eberle. Its funny, cause Seguins first goal of the playoffs is scary similar to Eberles first goal of the season.

Ahh.. draft time.. How I look forward to thee..

its a possibility but I hope not. and don't think they will, the underlining theme seams to be young and new. but with pick number 19 also maybe. or they could trade off pick 19 for something also.

Maybe someone should start another thread about the draft since this is mainly about the riot. With that said, being an Oilers fan myself, we need a #1 center. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will fit this role maybe not next year but soon after. D-men can take a while to develop and first line centers do not grow on trees. RNH first pick maybe a d-man second.

Is it fellow rioters that are threatening the captured rioters, or is it the "real" Vancouver fans? Hmmmm..... Win,win
