TORONTO -I have the tenacity, I have the speed, I have the skill to do it. If Edmonton feels I'm their guy, I'm going to try make that organization as best I can, try to help them from the shape their in. If I'm not, I'm not going to be too depressed. It would be a great accomplishment to go No. 1. I think I've worked pretty hard for it.-Both players also have been respectful of the other -- no free football mud-slinging on this campaign trail.-Taylor and I got better in our own ways because of each other,- Seguin told NHL.com. -I think we've pushed each other all year long, made sure neither of us could pull ahead in the scoring race. We pushed each other all season. We're two competitive guys.--Tyler Seguin is a great player,- Hall told NHL.com. -We've competed hard against each other and made each free football other better players and better people.-Windsor defenseman Cam Fowler has had a front-row view for both players. He battled Hall daily in practices and faced off against him at the World Juniors -- and played against Seguin 11 times (seven in the regular season, four more in the playoffs). Of Hall, Fowler told NHL.com: -He's a really dynamic, explosive player. He can blow around you with his speed free football or he can break you down one-on-one. He can protect pucks down low. He's got a great shot, too. I think what's really underrated is his defense. I think he's one of the better penalty killers on our team.-If you need a franchise player, he's the guy to build the team around.-Seguin, Fowler said, was the hardest player he had to go against in the OHL this season.-I think he's a little bit more of free football a playmaker compared to Hall. Both of their speed is really at the NHL level. I think Hallsie's a little more explosive with his first couple steps, but top speed I think they're both right up there. Seguin makes other people around him look better. He can dish you a pass, he can saucer it to you, he can put it through skates, whatever he has to do. And at the same time, he can bury the puck and p free football ut it in the net. -He's also a guy that you can build your team around. They're both going to have great careers in the NHL.-Seguin and Hall are pretty strong candidates, and both will make the Oilers -- or any team that gets them -- very happy. But as with any election, only one can win.So who will get the Oilers' vote? Tambellini isn't saying, instead making a shrewd political answer: -We're goi free football ng to have an impact player coming into our organization on June 25. I can't wait for that.-Contact Adam Kimelman at akimelman@nhl.com free football
