For the Oilers, the future is looking bright. The question is when will the future will arrive. No team in the league has anywhere close to as much dazzling young talent joining them this year. The centerpiece is first overall draft choice Taylor Hall—a guy who has impressed in pressure situations everywhere he has played.
Jordan Eberle, a 20-year-old first rounder from two years ago, is another high-pressure guy who has hit the ground running in the preseason and has massive upside.
Magnus Paajarvi is the third youngster who has fans drooling in anticipation. The 19-year-old comes over from Sweden this year where he has already been playing against men and looking very good doing it. He announced his presence at the World Championships this year, and is going to fit in well with the other two newcomers.
That’s three years of prime first-round talent hitting this team at once. No wonder people are excited in Edmonton.
