Live from Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center home of the Los Angeles Kings from June 25^th to June 26^th as the NHL holds its 47^th Entry draft. One of the biggest appeals to draft day for hockey fans is betting and predicting who will be the first overall selection. Annually fans betting on the first overall witness both future hall of famers and complete busts being picked first overall. Over the last decade many NHL clubs have selected first overall, but perhaps the two greatest drafts of the decade where back to back in 2004 and 2005 as those were the years, Washington Capitals sensation Alexander Ovechkin and Pittsburgh Penguin great Sidney Crosby were each selected.

The 2010 draft however has been depicted by many to be one of the weaker draft classes in recent memory. Nevertheless, on June 25^th Edmonton Oilers fans will have the pleasure of seeing general manager Steve Tambellini walk up to the podium to announce junior hockey sensation Taylor Hall as the first overall pick in this year's draft. Hall is exactly the type of power forward that the Oilers have been missing since Mark Messier left the team for New York in the early 1990s.

As well, with the youth movement that has resulted from the disastrous 2009-2010 season, Hall can grow with his peers as opposed to being the young buck on a stacked team having a rough year. Playing alongside fellow team Canada teammate Jordan Eberle, and returning star winger Ales Hemsky, the idea of Hall in an Oilers jersey, allows fans and experts alike to believe that the team can return to the glory days of a few seasons ago. Further, with goalie Nikolai Khabibulin providing stability in net, Hall and his future teammates can focus on scoring, which was one of the team's main problems last season.
