[QUOTE="oni_link_04, post: 2520435, member: 549378"] That's a tough argument to make. The Oilers had Taylor Hall playing top line minutes the instant he came into the league. Boston has been much more protective of Tyler Seguin, as he is not necessary to be the man carrying the load currently for the Bruins. Hall needed to play for the Oilers right away to sell tickets and to add some real scoring punch. Jeff Skinner has been in the same situation in Carolina. He was inserted right away and was expected to play in the top 6 for Carolina. Skinner does have the advantage of playing for a team that is better and in a weaker Conference, but he's still a primary cog that Carolina has used from day 1. Logan Couture is another prime example of what happens when you play within the top 6 forwards. If you put Taylor Hall on Boston, he's not in the top 6 forwards, he's not on the powerplay, and he doesn't have the output that he has. Anyways, this is an irrelevant question, as Hall is done for the year. [/QUOTE]
