Paajarvi and Lander will give the Oilers three dynamic duos


Much of the hype surrounding the Edmonton Oilers has rightly been focused on the quartet of Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov. With Edmonton prevailing as the winners of the Justin Schultz Sweepstakes, they have now turned that group of four into a quintet of impressive youngsters.
