In 2010, when the Edmonton Oilers selected Taylor Hall first overall, there was hope amongst Oilers fans that he would be the one to lead the franchise back to the promised land. Unfortunately, Hall never got the chance to see it through with Edmonton and didn’t even get to dress for a playoff game. 

His time with the Oilers was short when you look at it. Only six seasons and 381 games played. It doesn’t feel like he played fewer than 400 games with the team, but in that time, he left young fans who grew up during the decade of darkness with fond memories.

Many are familiar with his history with the Oilers and the trade that transpired in 2016. Some fans are still sour with Edmonton’s return for him, but 10 years later, the fans who grew up with him were happy to watch him hoist the Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes, and they shared their sentiments after Game 6.
