What's with all the TO, NYR and Ott fans pimping their own players? The question does not ask about those teams.
Because Edmonton is that ****ing boring.
Oh yeah regular season goals more exciting than your team battling in or for the playoffs .

Hey,
we're sorry your tank culminated with Zibanejad.
Sorry its kind of hard to beat tanking experts like you guys, you have a lot of experience in this field.
Hey,

one year more then you guys and that tanking got us Hall and RNH. Two potential franchise players, something the Sens cant say they have, maybe Karlsson and that's a maybe.
Also why bother posting a comment about playoffs when your team didn't even make the playoffs?
You watch Zibanejad being more impact player in the NHL than RNH
Neither Hall or RNH will put up as much point in the NHL per games played by the time they are Spezza's age or around 27.
Book it.
You throw around the term franchise too easily as if Hall already scored 50 goals or will even score 40 next year, and as if tin man RNH actually made an NHL team and showed something.
Yeah...that's why almost every scout out there agreed that RNH is the best prospect and Zibenejad, who is going to be a more impact player then RNH was only passed up by 5 other teams...
I can guarantee you Hall will. When I see franchise player, I'm talking about players that you would build your team around. Other examples besides Hall and RNH are Stamkos, Tavares, Duchene, Doughty etc. These guys are young players with franchise potential (well not so much Doughty and Stamkos anymore). Spezza at this point isn't that guy. At one point he could have been considered that but not anymore. I like Spezza but he's injury prone, only played 60 games in the last two seasons and even then he didn't put up a point per game. 3 years ago, he was one considered to be the best centermens in the game because of his point production but now hes not the same player. Defensively he made progress, I think that part is underrated of his. It's not good by any means but he still has got better at it then what he was before.
With all that said though, RNH and Hall will be the better players IMO. Spezza didn't break out until after the lockout. Then he dropped again. Give RNH 2 years and you will see why scouts say he has the best vision since Gretzky or why they haven't seen a player like him in the last 20 years coming from the WHL. There is a reason they say he is like Sakic or Datsyuk.
Hall scored 22 goals in his rookie season and you can tell that he was going to explode the second half. He could have scored 30 this year alone, you can ask any Oiler fan about that and they will say yes. 40 goals is possible and playing RNH, if they click and things go well, he might hit 50 one day. The potential is there for sure though.

So a players ability and potential to impact the NHL is determined where he is drafted or that he drafted 5 spots behind another player?
Sorry RNH is NOT a franchise player.
Lets see him put up the points Spezza did. Remember talk is cheap. And Hall is pure offensive player, so don't make him out to be this stud 2 way smash mouth hockey player. He is a speedy sniping winger, nothing more. A playmaking center who can also score 30 goals is more valuable than that. If RNH is anywhere near what you think he will be, chances are he will be more valuable than Hall.
Sure Spezza gets injured but that hardly makes him any less of a player, if anything he is a better 2 way player than that 20 year old that put up 90+ points in 60 games. Remember Spezza is also better than ppg player in the postseason and a proven performer in the playoffs.
