Former Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall may no longer be a part of the team or the organization, but that doesn't mean he has lost any respect for the players with whom he played during his tenure there.

In a recent interview with Michael Traikos of the Postmedia Network, Hall showed tremendous class when he was asked about the future of Edmonton's captaincy and whether or not his former teammate, Connor McDavid, was fit for the role.

“I’m not there anymore so it’s not something I’ve given much thought to, but I do think that they need a captain,” said Hall. “They need someone that has a ‘C’ on their jersey and if that’s Connor, he’s going to do a good job, there’s no doubt about it.”

While Hall did express some concerns when it comes to McDavid taking over the role at such a young age and so early on in his National Hockey League career, it's clear he believes that McDavid will become a great captain at some point or another.

“I don’t know if Connor is ready. He very well could be,” said Hall. “But he’s going to be a great captain, whether it’s this year or whenever it might be. I was lucky to play with him and spend some time with him and he’s one of those guys that I’m always rooting for.”
