"How much difference will Taylor Hall have?'' Well, it's not only Hall, it's also Jordan Eberle, the world junior hero, and it's Magnus Paajarvi, who has been playing with men and was a point-per-game player at the World Championship this spring.

I expect a 10th to 12th place finish, and a better result than Calgary.
