The Copper & Blue, an Edmonton Oilers community

Hall has signed for 7 years after the expiration of his current contract with the Oilers. The deal is back-loaded with an average of 6 mil per year. Thoughts?

TSN is reporting that Taylor Hall is out for the rest of the season, which is a surprise to pretty much no one in Oil Country; the news just gets better and better doesn't it folks? If we want to look for the bright side, this will give other Oiler prospects and players a chance to step up their offence and earn their next contracts.

In what one would think is a certain omen for the Edmonton Oilers, the Edmonton Oil Kings came in second-to-last in the WHL and will select second in the upcoming WHL Bantam Draft.

Eliotte Friedman thinks that Cam Fowler is a possibility for the Oilers.
