PHILADELPHIA -- Its far from a coincidence that the Edmonton Oilers went big with the third pick in the NHL draft. Authentic James Worthy Jersey . In taking German centre Leon Draisaitl, the Oilers added some much-needed size and depth at a position of great importance. "Its not a stretch to say were really happy and think that we filled a tremendous need for our hockey club and I think is going to have a real significant impact over time with our team," general manager Craig MacTavish said Friday night. "You combine him with our No. 1 pick last year (Darnell Nurse), and we start to see some size and quite a bit of character continue to come into our dressing room." Beyond 2011 No. 1 pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers are thin at centre. And in Draisaitl, the highest-drafted German in NHL history, they get a six-foot-one, 208-pound player who has drawn comparisons to Anze Kopitar and Jaromir Jagr. Playing for the WHLs Prince Albert Raiders, Draisaitl had 38 goals and 67 assists in 64 games this past season as he developed his defensive game and faceoff prowess. Hes from Cologne but came to develop in the Canadian junior system and will remain in North America this summer to train. There are still things Draisaitl believes he needs to improve this off-season but the physically mature 18-year-old also thinks hell be ready to play in the NHL in 2014-15. MacTavish cant make such a guarantee. "Obviously we project the team to be much more productive and much deeper than we were this year, and thatll be a significant factor," he said. "We want to make sure that if we do put young kids into our lineup that they have a chance to have success, and thatll be a big factor along with how well he adapts to the NHL game at training camp." Just having a chance to earn a spot at training camp is a nice opportunity for Draisaitl, who understands he wont just be handed a job playing alongside Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. "Im going to have to do my job and earn my spot if I want to play in that league and on that team," Draisaitl said. "I think theyre moving forward for sure and they made some good trades, (David) Perron, and the guys are getting older and more mature. This is just awesome right now." Draisaitl was thrilled to put on the same orange and blue of Edmonton stars of the past, most of whom had their primes before he was born. "Theyve had so many great players on their team: Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, MacTavish -- all those guys are stars in the league, and wearing the same jersey as they do is unbelievable," he said. MacTavish joked that he owed Draisaitl $100 for dropping his name in that group. More importantly for the GMs current job, he hopes Draisaitl can develop into an important piece of this already young core. Draisaitl fills a specific role, too, as the Oilers seek a variety of talent at forward. "(He) protects the puck and is a real offensive-zone player," MacTavish said. "Weve got a lot of skill, but were in need of somebody down low thats capable of sustaining the play. We have David Perron that fits that bill and now Leon will be a guy that can really protect the puck." If Draisaitl develops as scouts expect, he would slot in as the Oilers No. 2 centre of the future. His size mixed with Halls speed could be a tantalizing combination. "Hes probably the fastest skater in the league and hes an exciting player to watch," Draisaitl said. "It might be a good fit, but you never know." MacTavish would love to spend Saturday adding more depth to the organization, but the Oilers dont have a second- or a third-round pick after trades for Perron and goaltender Ben Scrivens. And he doesnt expect to be able to get into the second. "Well be sitting on our hands, it looks like, through the second or third round," MacTavish said. "Hopefully the scouts can pull a few of those impact players out of the later picks."

During the Miami Dolphins three-game losing streak, Tannehill has been sacked 12 times and committed seven turnovers. Tannehill ranks fourth in the NFL with 11 turnovers, including three that made a difference of at least 13 points in the Dolphins 23-21 loss last week to the Buffalo Bills. Tannehill has been sacked a league-high 26 times, and he was limited in practice Wednesday because of a sore right shoulder. Pass-protection problems prompted Miami to trade this week for tackle Bryant McKinnie. But Dolphins coaches acknowledge Tannehills choice of targets has also contributed to a flurry of interceptions. "The decision-making has to improve," coach Joe Philbin said. "And our protection at times has to improve." Cutting down on turnovers and sacks will be the top priorities Sunday when Miami (3-3) plays at New England (5-2). Tannehill is throwing interceptions at a faster rate than a rookie than last year, when he finished with 13. Even so, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said, Tannehill has showed improvement in his second NFL season. "It looks like hes much better at seeing the field and using all of his players in the passing game, whereas last year I think there were times where it seemed like he was more locked into either one side or one guy," Belichick said. "Now I think his vision has definitely improved, as has his accuracy, particularly on the outside throws." But Tannehill is tied for second in the league with four lost fumbled, and tied for sixth with seven interceptions. By comparison, two other members of the banner rookie QB class of 2012, Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, have thrown seven interceptions combined. "He needs to do a better job," Philbin said. Tannehill said each interception is an education. "Its definitely something Ill continue to work on," he said. "You have to learn from a good play or bad play. Turnovers or interceptions you overanalyze and get as much of it as you can." Tannehill is the only Miami player with a turnover this season, but his giveaways leave the Dolphinss at minus-one in turnover differential, a category Philbin listed as the teams No. Stitched Lakers Jerseys Online. 1 priority during training camp. "Were killing ourselves right now," guard Richie Incognito said. "Turnovers, sacks, thats stuff that we can eliminate. Thats stuff that we can control. Thats the most frustrating part." Tannehill threw a career-high three touchdown passes Sunday and wasnt sacked until the fourth quarter. But with the game on the line, the Dolphins pass protection again crumbled, and one disastrous play served as a symbol for their recent slide. With Miami leading 21-20, Tannehill tried to throw from midfield but fumbled when hit by Mario Williams. The Bills recovered to set up their winning field goal in the final minute. Tannehill said that as he was hit, receiver Brian Hartline was breaking into the clear. "He was going to come open right when I was letting it go. It was that close," Tannehill said. "If we have another half-second, no one is talking about this." Williams used a power rush to beat tackle Tyson Clabo, who took the blame for the play. Tannehill said the timing and ferocity of Williams hit made the turnover difficult to avoid. "You dont want to fumble the ball, but Im in the middle of my throwing motion, so its tough," he said. Offensive co-ordinator Mike Sherman agreed. "He had no chance of getting out of that," Sherman said. "It happened rather quickly." Tannehill seemed intent on getting rid of the ball quickly Sunday, and he made poor decisions on both interceptions. The first occurred when Nickell Robey jumped a short route and stepped in front of Brandon Gibson for a 19-yard touchdown return. It was a play the Dolphins apparently have called too often. "Ive seen it, and I jumped it," said Robey, a rookie backup. "It was on film plenty of times." Sherman predicted Tannehill will shake off his turnovers, and the pounding hes taking from opposing pass rushes. "Hes very resilient physically and mentally," Sherman said. "I think that is what is going to make him a very good quarterback in this league."
