When the Edmonton Oilers start the 2010-11 season, they’ll ice a trio of 19-year-olds. First-overall pick Taylor Hall, World Juniors clutch man Jordan Eberle and Swedish phenom Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson are all set to make their NHL debuts with the NHL’s reigning worst-place team. Okay, Hall is technically 18-years-old, but he’ll turn 19 in November, so he gets a pass this time. He’s still the most likely of the trio to break camp with the Oilers anyway.

His 21 goals and 24 assists both lead all rookies, and he’s 10 ahead of second-place Tavares on the points list.

This year, the end of the Winter Olympics will usher in spring, as the Major League Baseball Spring Training season kicks in on Tuesday when the Braves and the Mets throw the year’s first baseballs at each other. It’s easy to get caught up in the standings and to see your team do well through March and expect big things throughout the year as a result, but be careful with that. Spring Training is not so much about winning and losing as it is seeing what you have.

The rookies in the NHL are making a huge impression on the fans nationwide.
