Taylor Hall and Edmonton Oilers agree on a seven-year contract extension

EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers have locked up forward Taylor Hall with a seven-year contract extension.

The Oilers say the contract is worth an average of $6 million per season.

The club announced the deal Wednesday on its Twitter account.

Hall was the Oilers’ first overall pick in 2010 and has since become a key fixture on the team’s youthful top line alongside fellow first overall pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle.Hall finished with 27 goals and 26 assists in 61 games before his season was cut short due to a shoulder injury.

Those numbers were slightly up from his rookie campaign when he had 22 goals and 20 assists in 65 games in another injury-shortened season.
