"I definitely feel like I'm really improving," Taylor Hall said. "My shoulder feels like a new shoulder." The 20-year-old posted 53 points (27G, 26A) over 61 games for the Oilers this season, and it looks like he should be near full strength when the 2012-13 season begins. (Updated 05/04/2012).

05/11/2012 11:53 Oilers president on Ryan Murray: 'He's the top player'
Could the Edmonton Oilers actually take Ryan Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the June draft? Oilers president Kevin Lowe called him "the top player" on Thursday.
Hall, who was selected first overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, made an immediate impact for the Oilers in his rookie campaign. In 65 games, he had 22 goals (eight on the power play) and 20 assists. Hall was playing some of the best hockey of his short career before sustaining a high ankle sprain that shelved him for the final six weeks of the regular season. Keep in mind that with all the injuries the Oilers suffered last season, it wasn't like there was a ton of talent surrounding Hall, who could see 30-plus goals in his sophomore campaign.
