Whether you sit first or last or anywhere in between, an NHL team needs an MVP and that's the topic of conversation in my weekly blog. Who is the Oilers Most Valuable Player this season? Here are the top candidates.Taylor Hall - He might be the easiest one to go with when you solely look at numbers. Hall is tied for the team lead in points with 42. His 22 goals are still first on the team despite football teams the fact he will miss a total of 17 games by the time the season is wrapped up. He's also first in powerplay goals with eight and the team leader in shots with 186. The other thing Taylor has done is put people in the seats or at least get them up out of their seats. That's a quality not many players across the league have. . If -- and I know it's a big 'if' -- Hemsky had stayed healthy, he was o football teams n pace for 73 points which would have been his second highest total with the Oilers (he had 77 points 2005-06). He also, at plus-three, is the only forward not in negative territory. Ryan Whitney - Normally someone who has played only 35 games would have zero chance of being a team MVP but that might not be the case for the Edmonton defenceman. His nearly half-season of play was stellar. Even thou football teams gh he'll miss 47 games by season's end, he's still third on the team in assists with 25. He led the Oilers in ice time by averaging 25:20 per game. The fact he is an eye-popping plus 13 goes a long way to show off what he did during his time on the ice for Edmonton. They were never the same once he was hurt. football teams
